Cook

About the Role

Our Cooks 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:

• preparing, cooking and serving food
• understanding people’s needs, likes and choices to develop suitable menus
• interacting with the people we support to get feedback on meals
• complying with food hygiene standards
• completing relevant checks and maintaining records
• 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. If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.

We like our Cooks to have a food hygiene certificate and a relevant catering qualification, but these aren’t necessary.
