* Nantwich
* Crewe
* Stoke on Trent
* Buxton & surrounding areas
To work within this environment, you must have an Enhanced DBS covering adults and children, dated within the last 12 months or on the update service. If you don't have this, we can process one for you at a cost.
Imagine working as a chef/cook, having a great salary, and getting paid for every hour worked, along with the flexibility of when you work for a better work-life balance. If you can imagine this, then we can offer you shifts to support this!
Why Apply?

* PAYE - holiday accrual, and Blue Arrow processes your national insurance ensuring you are paid every Friday
* Dedicated consultant
* Great work-life balance
* Flexible shifts
* Opportunity to gain more hours around current jobs
* Variety of shifts and working environments
The Commute:
As we cover a large number of locations across Staffordshire, your commute will vary. If you have a car and are flexible with locations, great; if you're limited to public transport, we'll only send you to places that have public transport links and provide you with all the information you need to get there.

* Chefs

The Working Environment:
You will be providing hot, delicious, and nutritious food to vulnerable adults and children. Your role is extremely important in ensuring every person has a hot meal for the day you work, no matter the place of work. The main environments you will work in are schools and care homes, working within contract catering, and will be required to cook specific items, i.e., textured meals for all residents and children, working from the IDDSI framework.
Working Hours:
You will be working a mixture of hours; however, most of our school and nursery clients work from Monday to Friday, from around 7/8 am until 2/3 pm. Our care homes will require Monday to Friday work but also weekend coverage as they are open 7 days a week, with hours ranging from 7 am till 6 pm.
Requirements and Skills:

An in-date Enhanced DBS dated within the last 12 months, ideally on the new updated service programme, is required; without this, we cannot work you in schools or care homes. (We have the facilities to put you through one at a cost if needed, which would benefit you in offering more work.)
