Care Home Chef - Permanent Role

Care Home Chef - Permanent Role (£15.50/hr)

40 hours per week * 10‑hour shifts * Rotational rota with some weekends off

If you're a chef who loves creating delicious, comforting meals and wants a role where your food genuinely improves people's lives, this is the perfect opportunity. Join a care home where your talent is valued, your ideas matter, and your work brings joy every single day.

Why This Role Stands Out

• A stable, permanent position with a warm, supportive team
• A chance to cook real, wholesome food - not fast‑paced restaurant chaos
• A meaningful role where residents look forward to your meals
• A friendly environment where you can bring creativity to the menu

Your Working Pattern

• £15.50 per hour
• 40 hours per week
• 10‑hour shifts
• Rotational rota with some weekends off for a healthy work-life balance

What You'll Be Doing

• Preparing fresh, tasty meals tailored to residents' needs
• Creating menus that are nutritious, varied, and full of flavour
• Ensuring high standards of food hygiene and kitchen safety
• Working closely with the care team to make mealtimes special
• Keeping the kitchen organised, clean, and compliant

What We're Looking For

• Experience as a chef (care home experience is a bonus)
• Understanding of dietary needs and allergens
• Someone who enjoys cooking for others and takes pride in their craft
• A positive, reliable team player

What You'll Love About Working With Us

• A calm, respectful workplace
• Supportive management
• The chance to build real relationships with residents
• A role where your cooking truly makes a difference
