Love a good team hustle? Fancy being the unsung hero of mealtimes?

If you've ever taken pride in a job well done, enjoyed seeing things sparkle, or secretly love the rhythm of a busy kitchen, we want you. This isn't about fame or glory - it's about being the glue that keeps the kitchen (and our care home) running smoothly. Every plate you wash, every countertop you wipe, every perfectly timed meal - it all matters.

You'll be part of a team that makes our home feel warm, welcoming, and well-fed. The residents notice the little things: a hot meal served on time, a clean and safe kitchen, the calm behind the chaos. And that's where you come in. You're the quiet force that makes it all possible...

What you'll be doing:

Keeping the kitchen spotless, safe, and humming along like a well-oiled machine. Helping the cook with food prep and serving meals - timing is everything! Washing up, clearing down, and staying ahead of the next mealtime - think of it as a slightly competitive sport. Rotating stock in fridges, freezers, vegetable stores, and cupboards to help minimise waste (bonus points if you can make tins and packets look Instagram-worthy). Being a key part of a team that puts people first, with smiles, humour, and a sense of pride in every task.

Who you are:

Reliable, hardworking, and proud of a job done properly. A team player who understands that care isn't just what's seen - it's what's felt. Happy to roll up your sleeves, whether it's scrubbing, chopping, or keeping everything ticking along. Flexible, upbeat, and ready to dive into the hustle of a busy kitchen. No experience? No worries! Bring the right attitude, and we'll show you the ropes.

We can offer you:

A supportive team who understands the power of what happens in the kitchen. Fully paid training and plenty of career progression opportunities Induction programme with a dedicated mentor to help you feel supported and comfortable in your new role Free DBS check?and auto-enrolment pension The use of 'Flex Earn' enabling you to access wages earnt in advance of pay day, viewing earnt wages in real time Blue Light Card eligibility - discounts on retail, eating out, and more!
