Job description

**Olive Tree House. An Allegra Care Home.**

Here at our beautiful, purpose built care home, we provide a household model of care, and mealtimes are always a highlight of the day.

We are looking to welcome an energetic chef, with big ideas and an understanding of special dietary needs.

You'll definitely have some care home experience to understand special diets, and you'll be supported in your role by a head chef on site.

You'll get the chance to work with residents and managers to design and tailor food that provides an excellent nutritional balance, while providing a hospitality experience you can be proud of.

We are a growing company, and will be able to support you to provide opportunities to build a career in this growing, exciting sector.

We pay up to £14.34 an hour for a 40-hour working week, and while the home is a seven day business, the hours are much more flexible and family friendly than regular hospitality.

Shifts are four, 10-hour shifts a week (7:30am - 5:30pm), and includes alternate weekends. Late nights are rare (special events mainly), and the role offer a much better work-life balance than most kitchens.

Apply today, and good luck!
