Join Our Team at Lammermuir House Care Home - Where Your Work Comes with a View

Located in the seaside town of Dunbar, Lammermuir House Care Home offers a unique and inspiring place to work, with views over the Firth of Forth. Just minutes from local shops, cafés, and public transport, and with easy access to the A1, our home is ideally placed for both convenience and a peaceful coastal setting.

Lammermuir House provides high-quality care for up to 48 residents with nursing needs, within a purpose-built, modern facility.

Because great food brings people together and every meal should feel like home.

We’re looking for a skilled and caring Chef to join our catering team in a role where your cooking doesn’t just nourish it uplifts. In our home, food is more than fuel. It’s comfort, its culture, and it’s a source of daily joy for the people we care for.

What we offer

• GBP12.50 per hour
• Contracted to bank hours per week
• Flexible shifts on offer; days

If you’re passionate about creating meals that are both delicious and meaningful, this could be the perfect role for you.

Responsibilities and impact

As Chef, you’ll help ensure that mealtimes are a highlight of the day for our residents. From freshly prepared dishes to special occasion bakes, your work supports wellbeing, celebrates life, and brings a sense of routine and pleasure to everyone in our home.

You’ll be part of a team that understands the power of good food, and you’ll have the time, ingredients, and support you need to do your best work.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring proven culinary skills and a real flair for flavour, along with a practical understanding of food safety, nutrition, and dietary requirements. Experience in a healthcare setting is a bonus, but not essential; what matters most is that you’re motivated by care and take pride in what you serve.

About you

You’ll be confident leading the kitchen in the absence of the Head Chef, and comfortable balancing creativity with compliance. Cleanliness, organisation, and attention to detail are second nature to you, as is the ability to work as part of a team that truly values each other.

If you’re ready to bring warmth, flavour, and skill to a place where your cooking really matters, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and join a team where every day brings new opportunities to make a difference.
