Blandford Forum, Dorset, United Kingdom The Cambian Group Full time

About The Cambian Group

The Cambian Group is a leading provider of specialist behavioural health services for children and adults in the UK. Our services include children's specialist education, children's residential services, adult mental health, acquired brain injury, and fostering services.

The Forum School and Residential Home

The Forum School and Residential Home is a 52-week residential and specialist school providing quality therapeutic care and education for young people with Autism, severe learning difficulties, and challenging behaviour and complex needs. The children and young people who attend our school range between 7 and 19 years of age.

Job Role: Kitchen Assistant

This role involves assisting in the production of regular meals that form a well-balanced and nutritionally sound diet for the students. It requires various tasks to make the kitchen an efficient and happy place to work, including high standards of hygiene and the ability to relate to colleagues and the young people who live here.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Attend work reliably and punctually and attend any training as required in a positive manner.
  • Help prepare, cook, serve food and drinks, and clean in the kitchen, as required, complying with all regulations relating to food preparation, cooking, and storage.
  • Maintain the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness.
  • Use all materials in an effective and economic way.
  • Clearly and promptly keep any required records.
  • Use all equipment and materials in a safe way, making sure that students/residents do not get hold of harmful tools or substances whilst you are using them. This includes ensuring that everything is stored securely in the correct place after use.
  • Ensure that kitchen equipment is safe to use, maintained in working order, and securely stored when not in use.
  • Carry out, as and when required, any additional tasks and responsibilities as are reasonably compatible with this job description and its objectives.

Other Responsibilities:

  • Be observant and do everything possible to protect students/residents and others from abuse of a physical, emotional, sexual, neglectful, financial, or institutional nature. This includes the need to report any incident of this type you witness, hear about, or suspect.
  • Ensure that all students, residents, and colleagues have equal opportunities, to acknowledge their individual differences, and uphold their rights and responsibilities, including the right not to be discriminated against, as set out in law and by Cambian Group policies.
  • Contribute to good communication by checking communication books, noticeboards, diaries, and your pigeon hole every time you are on duty to check for information you need to know; attending meetings as required and making sure you inform other people of things that are likely to be useful to them in their jobs.
  • Take reasonable care for the health and safety of yourself and that of others. This implies taking positive steps to understand the hazards in the workplace, to comply with safety rules and procedures, and to ensure that nothing you do, or fail to do, puts yourself or others at risk. This includes contributing to a safe and secure environment for students. This also includes checking that any person entering Cambian Group property has a right to do so and their visit is recorded in accordance with Cambian Group procedures.

Person Specification:

  • Knowledge of methods of cleaning different surfaces and safe working practices.
  • Experience using equipment and materials in situations where care is needed to prevent harm to others.
  • Ability to maintain positive relationships with young people and staff whilst working in a busy environment.
  • Experience of working effectively as part of a team and also on your own initiative.

We will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will be purely based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.
