Assistant Chef/cook

The care sector is such a rich and rewarding place to work. There is variety in your work and in the roles available - you don’t have to be a carer to make a meaningful difference in our care homes. We want the kindest and most resilient people to come andsupport our Residents - no two days will be the same and you will receive the learning and development you need to thrive.

As an Assistant Chef/Cook at HC One, you’ll value one thing above all. Kindness. It carries across every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are peoplejust like them with their own stories to tell. And, by joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

Become a Key worker and make difference.

We are committed to providing the quickest possible turnaround from the point of making you a job offer to you starting with us on day one.

For you, that will mean cooking and serving nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. You’ll provide outstanding support to our First Chef/Cook, taking charge in their absence. And, whether you’re managing the food stock, working out how to makethe most of your budget, coaching a colleague or supervising the kitchen clean-up, you’ll always have resident wellbeing in mind above anything else. We’re looking for someone with at least a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate and great understanding of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points. Beyond that, it’s all about your brilliant, positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You’llbe organised and meet deadlines, present your food attractively and have a knack for following recipes perfectly. And, whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.

Well, after all, it’s just in your nature.
