Shrewsbury, Shropshire, United Kingdom HC One Full time

In your role as Head of Service 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 people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

As Head of Service, that will mean helping to prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. You will assist in preparing cakes for the morning tea trolley and the lunchtime dessert/cakes. You'll demonstrate the highest standards in cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene. Whether you're maintaining food supplies and fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use the equipment, or scrubbing that last bit of spilled food from inside the oven, you'll always have resident well-being in mind above anything else.

HC-One is looking for someone with kitchen experience. You must be aware of The Food Safety Act 1990, The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, RIDDOR, and COSHH regulations. Great record-keeping and organizational skills will be essential, as will the ability to follow recipes. Whenever you communicate with a Resident or co-worker, you'll be truly considerate and kind.

We will provide full training, so it's a great opportunity to learn something new. In return, you will enjoy access to a huge variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being. Throughout your career as Head of Service, we will invest in you, and you will enjoy additional support and benefits including:

  • Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
  • Free uniform
  • During a shift of eight hours or more, a nutritious meal will be available
  • Company pension scheme
  • 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
  • Group life assurance cover
  • Award-winning learning and development and support to achieve qualifications
  • GP online - a service providing around-the-clock GP consultation via an interactive app - available to you and your children under 16
  • An opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues as part of an outstanding and committed team
  • Colleague discounts - Access to over 1600 high street discounts including carefully selected discount partners
  • Wellbeing - free access to an independent and confidential Employee Assistance Programme, providing 24/7 support for a range of issues
  • Excellent recognition schemes such as 'Kindness in Care' and Long Service Awards
  • An attractive refer-a-friend scheme of up to £1000 per referral, depending on the role

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.
