By joining HC-One, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

As an Assistant Chef, you will be responsible for cooking and serving nutritious, healthy meals that our Residents will love.

Beyond qualifications, we value your positive energy, ability to get along with people, organization skills, and your knack for following recipes precisely. When communicating with Residents or colleagues, kindness and consideration are essential.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to report concerns. All colleagues will attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and escalate concerns appropriately.

We will provide full training, offering a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you'll enjoy a variety of benefits supporting your physical and psychological wellbeing, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• Hourly rate based on experience and qualifications
• A nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave including bank holidays
• Group life assurance

• Free access to an Employee Assistance Programme for support on various issues
• Recognition schemes like 'Kindness in Care' and Long Service Awards
