**ABOUT THE ROLE**

Are you an experienced catering assistant, commis chef or cook that takes pride in your work?

Are you looking for your next challenge without split shifts and anti-social hours?

We’re currently recruiting for a Cook to join our passionate, hard-working and friendly catering team, to create delicious meals for our residents.

Nutrition is an important element of the care package that we provide. You’ll be actively involved in the nutritional needs of our residents, to ensure that a high-quality dining experience is received by everyone. You’ll get to know our residents and their families so that you’ll be motivated to understand and accommodate their personal preferences. Some weekend work will be required.

In joining us, you’ll also become part of our extended family. You’ll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.

Brookside Care Home is an established care home in Melksham and has been serving the local and wider Wiltshire community for over 40 years. It offers compassionate, individualised residential care for up to 50 residents.

**AND IN RETURN**

The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in. Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.

Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

- 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
- A workplace pension
- Free uniform
- Free DBS
- Higher rates of pay at weekends
- Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
- Blue Light Card and ‘My Rewards’ programme offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more
- Care Worker Charity membership for well being and financial aid

**ABOUT YOU**

You’ll need to have previous experience of working in a professional kitchen and catering for specialist diets, providing meals for large groups of people, alongside a Basic Food Hygiene Certificate. Ideally you’ll also be working towards a Level 2 Diploma in Food Production and Cooking or equivalent but this is not essential.

You’ll be confident in engaging with our elderly residents to understand their individual needs and enjoy being part of the wider team in the home.
