Kitchen Assistant – Nourish with Purpose at Amica Care

At Amica Care, we're not just a care provider, we're a registered charity, built on compassion, dignity and respect. Supporting our residents is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to create homes, not just care homes, where every person is treated with kindness and given the opportunity to thrive.

We're seeking a Kitchen Assistant to join our passionate team on a full-time basis (weekend availability is required). This role is more than preparing meals, it's about supporting the health, wellbeing and happiness of residents in a respectful, inclusive environment.

What You'll Be Doing Day to Day

  • Preparing & serving nutritious meals with care, ensuring dietary needs and preferences are met.
  • Maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety in line with regulations.
  • Assisting with kitchen organisation, stock, cleaning, setting up service areas.
  • Working as part of our wider care team, collaborating with care staff to ensure meals support overall wellbeing and routines.
  • Delivering kindness through food, creating a warm mealtime experience where residents feel valued and nourished.

Who You Are & What You Bring

You don't necessarily need formal experience, passion and dedication matter most. The right person will bring:

  • A caring, respectful attitude and strong sense of responsibility.
  • A willingness to learn, follow instructions and maintain consistency.
  • A basic understanding of hygiene, food safety or willingness to train.
  • Good communication skills and ability to work cooperatively.
  • A positive, inclusive outlook, where every team member and resident feels respected and valued.

We're proud to foster an inclusive culture where diversity is celebrated, and everyone is empowered to grow. Join us if you want to be part of a team where progression is encouraged and your contributions are seen.

What We Offer You

As part of our commitment to you, here's what you'll receive:

  • On-the-job training and support to develop your kitchen and service skills.
  • Clear pathways for progression, whether you wish to move into supervisory kitchen roles or transition into other areas of care.
  • Competitive pay, overtime rates, and benefits.
  • Subsidised meals during your shifts.
  • Cycle-to-work scheme.
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) — free, confidential support for you and your family (wellbeing, counselling, legal advice).
  • Early access wage scheme for financial flexibility.
  • A friendly, inclusive and supportive environment where your contribution truly matters.
