About You

As a Kitchen Assistant, you will help prepare and serve nutritious meals that our residents will love. You’ll maintain high standards of cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene.

All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and to undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and escalate concerns appropriately.
