Are you a people person with a passion for food who’ craving a new challenge? Then we want you to join our friendly and supportive Patient Catering team.

While previous catering experience is preferred it is not as essential as enthusiasm and willingness to learn as you will receive full-training before you start working across the hospital as a representative of the Patient Catering Department.

In this role you will be a part of improving our patients’ experience on the ward through preparing and serving high-quality meals and refreshments. You will also be a friendly face on the ward that both patient and staff can interact with, making this a very sociable and rewarding role.

You’ll be working alongside care teams to provide appropriate nutrition and hydration to all our patients as part of their all-round care plans. You’ll be given the tools to assist and answer questions about the food and drink products you’re providing.

You will be a key member of the Estates and Facilities Directorate and will help us to achieve our ambition of providing high quality services and facilities to support the delivery of care at the Trust.

You will gain experience of working within a patient focused environment whilst maintaining effective professional working relationships with internal and external colleagues.

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.

We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook - if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.

We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.

For full role information please see the attached Job Description, but responsibilities include:
Providing effective food service delivery across the wards and ensuring the highest food safety standards are adhered to at all times.
