preparing, cooking and serving food
understanding people’s needs, likes and choices to develop suitable menus
interacting with the people we support to get feedback on meals
complying with food hygiene standards
completing relevant checks and maintaining records
being a great team player, working as part of the wider Catering Team.
You’ll put people at the heart of everything you do. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you’ll see great rewards.
