Job description

  • Do you enjoy hospitality but do not like the unsociable hours?
  • Do you wish to develop and hone your kitchen management skills?
  • Would you like to be involved with seasonal menu plans using high quality ingredients?
  • Do you enjoy high levels of autonomy at work, and do you enjoy learning and improving yourself?
  • Do you enjoy engaging with the elderly and improving peoples lives?

If so then we are offering a fantastic opportunity to someone within our Christchurch based residential care home, with sociable hours, good managerial support and excellent career development opportunity in terms of training.

There are two roles available, one for head chef which includes additional duties such as ordering, menu planning, and integration with our activities coordinator to provide special meals occasionally.

Either role would suit those who wish to develop their individual skills, in a less pressured environment that you would normally find within catering.

Days Available: Monday - Sunday – 07.00-17.30 with an unpaid 30-minute break at 2pm.

Additional overtime available.
