A rare and exciting opportunity has become available for a Chef/Cook to join our existing team at Uist & Barra Hospital.

You will also be required to supervise all operational aspects of the kitchen and associated areas including deliveries, preparation, storage rooms, and wash up, including supervision of staff working in these areas.

Candidates would require SVQ/NVQ level 5 (Hospitality / professional cookery) or City & Guilds 706/1, 706/2 (or similar). An Intermediate food hygiene certificate is also required, although candidates showing willingness to gain the certificate whilst in post would be considered.
