About You

As a Kitchen Assistant, you will help prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. You’ll demonstrate high standards in cleanliness, food safety, and hygiene. Whether maintaining food supplies and fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use equipment, or cleaning spills from inside the oven, you’ll always prioritize resident wellbeing.

HC-One is looking for a Kitchen Assistant with some kitchen experience, but what’s certain is that you’ll have either an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation, or the willingness to study for one. Great record-keeping and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to follow recipes. When communicating with residents or colleagues, you’ll be considerate and kind.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It’s important that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect, and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
