The role of Cook is vital in contributing to the creation of a nurturing and homely environment for the young people and the ethos of Drylaw.

This is an exciting time to join the team as we continue to build on our strong models of care. We are seeking a child centred, resilient, and motivated individual to take on the role of cook for the house. The successful candidate will have previous experience as a cook and be able to communicate with staff and young people to find out food preferences and dietary requirements. The candidate must be able to contribute to creating a homely environment by providing nutritious home cooked meals and home baking. They must also be able to menu plan, create shopping lists and shop for stock if and when required.

Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. You will be required to provide this check. An unconditional offer of employment and commencement in the post will be subject to the outcome of both these pre-employment checks being deemed satisfactory.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
