In this role, you'll help the Chef to prepare and cook food for the people we support, set dining tables and keep the kitchen clean.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

About the role

Our Catering Assistants make delicious and nourishing meals for people with a range of dietary requirements.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • assisting with basic food preparation
  • keeping the kitchen clean and tidy including washing up, cleaning freezers and mopping floors
  • cleaning and sanitising all tableware
  • understanding people's needs, likes and choices to help the Chef develop suitable menus
  • interacting with the people we support to get feedback on meals
  • complying with food hygiene standards
  • being a great team player, working as part of the wider Catering Team.

You'll put people at the heart of everything you do. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you'll see great rewards.
