Since 2023, we now provide support to adults requiring Reablement Focused Care alongside our current Resident Group.

Our purpose is to not only continue providing specialist care for older people with Dementia in a safe, homely environment but to also enhance the care experienced by individuals needing Rehab to live independent lives, with the primary focus on integration back into the community.

We have a well-established team who place those we support at the heart of everything we do, and we promote a calm and homely environment for the people who live here and use the service.

We are seeking a motivated and energised Senior Cook to join our team, to support the development of the Kitchen. Someone who is passionate about Cooking and must be engaged to work in consultation with our Residents and wider staff team.

As a Senior Cook, you will be responsible for all activities within the Kitchen; including provision of nutritional meals, daily baking, developing and reviewing menus on a regular basis, stock management, ordering, supervision of kitchen staff and ensuring Cooksafe regulations are in place.

You will work 37 hour per week; rota working including weekends.

This post is temporary until May 2027 due to service requirement.
