Fantastic opportunity for a Chef / Cook to work favourable hours here on the Isle of Wight over the next 6 months.

We are looking for a Cook to join the team at one of our reablement homes on the Isle of Wight for up to 6 months as we support individuals leaving hospital over the winter and spring.

• Hourly Rate to candidate: Grade 4A £11.18 (PAYE)
• Shift Structure: 7.30am – 2pm (Monday-Sunday)

We can have up to 19 residents at this setting but initially it will be just 8 residents plus onsite staff to cater for.

The focus will be on nutritious, 'home cooking' that can be adapted to a range of dietary needs for those using the service. Breakfast is usually catered for by the in house staff, so the chef will be focused on delivering a hot lunch each day, followed by completing any prep for the evening meal which will then be delivered by in house staff.

We are looking for someone reliable who has a great attitude and genuinely cares about providing nutritious, tasty meals to our residents. We are not necessarily seeking a formal chef, a catering background as a cook in a school or café environment would also be sufficient as cooking / plating up to volume will be a key element.

Previous experience in a care home setting is NOT required

The location of this setting means that a vehicle will be required to access the location at 07:30 am as public transport will not be suitable.

Due to the work environment, an enhanced DBS check will be required, however there may be the opportunity to obtain this at point of offer under strict supervision.
