From preparing hearty, home-cooked meals to keeping the kitchen sparkling and safe, you’ll play an important role in the daily life of the home. It’s fast-paced, hands-on, and full of variety and your work will directly contribute to the wellbeing of those we care for.

Why this role matters:

Great food is about more than just nutrition it’s about warmth, familiarity, and a sense of home. By helping us deliver high-quality meals and maintaining a spotless, well-organised kitchen, you’ll help create a dining experience that residents genuinely look forward to.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll bring a practical, can-do attitude and take pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Ideally, you’ve worked in a kitchen or food preparation setting before but if you haven’t, and you’re eager to learn and work hard, we’d still love to hear from you.

About You:

You’re someone who’s well-organised, pays attention to detail, and understands the importance of cleanliness and food safety. You're comfortable working as part of a team, always ready to lend a hand and make things easier for those around you.
If you’ve got a basic knowledge of food handling and health & safety great. If not, we’ll support you with the training and guidance you need to thrive.

This is a place where your hard work is appreciated, your contribution truly matters, and there’s always room to grow. So, if you’re ready to start a career that makes a difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.
