Job description

In your role as a Kitchen Assistant at HC-One, you'll value one thing above all: kindness. It carries across every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Everyone who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them, with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

As a Kitchen Assistant, your responsibilities include helping to 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, you'll always prioritize Resident wellbeing.

HC-One is looking for a Kitchen Assistant with some kitchen experience. Ideally, you'll have an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation, or be willing to study for one. Good record-keeping and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to follow recipes. When communicating with Residents or colleagues, kindness and consideration are key.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect, and know how to act 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, escalating issues if necessary.

We will provide full training, offering a great opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you'll enjoy a variety of benefits to support your physical and psychological wellbeing, including:

• Hourly rate subject to experience and qualifications.
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• A nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance
• Wagestream for flexible access to pay
• Learning and development opportunities, including qualifications
• GP online service for 24/7 consultations
• Support from experienced colleagues in a committed team
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores
• Free Employee Assistance Programme for physical, mental, and financial support
• Recognition schemes such as 'Kindness in Care' and Long Service Awards
• Refer a Friend scheme offering up to £1000 per successful referral

We are committed to creating an inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and aim for a quick onboarding process from offer to start date.
