Head of Service
2 days ago
The care sector is such a rich and rewarding place to work. There is variety in your work and in the roles available - you don’t have to be a carer to make a meaningful difference in our care homes. We want the kindest and most resilient people to come andsupport our Residents - no two days will be the same and you will receive the learning and development you need to thrive.
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 peoplejust 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. Assisting and preparing the cakes for the morning tea trolley and the lunch time dessert/cakes. You’ll demonstrate the highest standardsin cleanliness, food safety and hygiene. And, 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 inmind above anything else.
HC-One are 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 organisational skills will be essential, as will the abilityto follow recipes. And, whenever you communicate with a Resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Well, after all, it’s just in your nature.
We’ll 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 and throughout your career as Head of Servicewe will invest in you and you will enjoy additional support and benefits including:
- Paid DBS/PVG
- Free uniform
- Homemade meal whilst on shift
- 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 of charge access to an independent and confidential Employee Assistance Programme. This gives Colleagues and their family access to 24/7 365 support for a whole range of issues including physical, mental and financial issues
