You’ll oversee one area of the kitchen to prepare meals to the highest standard, ensure proper portion control and minimise waste. You’ll develop an awareness of special dietary requirements, including the dementia dining experience, to meet these needs. You’ll also use your creativity and passion to help the Head Chef and Sous Chef to regularly review and develop the menu. We are kind and compassionate. Positive and resilient. Proactive and organised. Honest and accountable. Passionate and keen to develop. If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in. As well as your energy and enthusiasm for food, a year’s experience in catering, an NVQ Level 2 or QCF equivalent in food & hygiene or catering services, working knowledge of health & safety and awareness of waste disposal & infection control are a big advantage.
