At the Orangery Cafe, food is more than food. It’s comfort, care, and sometimes the highlight of someone’s day. From a favourite pudding to a simple cuppa, your meals will create a great dining experience in our very busy café and also dignity, love, and comfort to patients, families and visitors.

Your day might include:

• Cooking specials, soups, quiches, pies, and scrummy cakes.
• Being part of a lively lunch service (40–90 covers) alongside an amazing team.
• Helping with afternoon teas, the salad bar… and if needed, even washing up!
• Preparing tailored meals for patients’ likes and needs.

Why join us?

• Part time hours, no late nights, great team.
• Apprentices welcome – train on the job.
• Every plate makes a difference.
• Bring your kitchen skills (or passion to learn), a good sense of humour, and care for people as much as food.
• Apply now and help us turn meals into moments at St Mary’s Hospice.

Closing date 21st November; applications will close once a suitable number of applicants have been received.
