Catering Team
Our catering teams are committed to ensuring that food and drink is nutritious and that we deliver an excellent dining experience. The catering roles available are wide and varied and you’ll play an essential role in the team that delivers an exceptional service and first-class dining experience to our residents.
Make A Difference
We believe that every member of staff plays an essential role in contributing to the overall wellbeing of our residents. Our catering teams, in particular, have a vital responsibility in ensuring that our residents have positive food experiences, which is why we prioritise their role in maintaining the health and happiness of our residents.
We understand that each resident has unique dietary requirements and preferences, and we strive to attend to these needs. While some of our residents may have no problem with their appetite and can enjoy a balanced healthy diet, others may require more assistance and have health conditions that affect their food and drink intake. So, it is crucial that we provide food and drink that is both enjoyable and nutritious, and accessible to each resident, in order to maintain their health and wellbeing.
Creating an environment that is positive and caring, where residents can enjoy appetising food tailored to their individual needs, is a critical aspect of delivering high-quality care in our homes. Our catering teams play a significant role in helping us achieve these standards and providing an excellent quality of life to our residents.
A variety of roles
Our catering teams support our care home chefs to provide a daily menu that is both nutritious and consistent, using locally-sourced fresh produce and ingredients. By doing so, we strive to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of our residents on a daily basis.
No prior experience is necessary to apply for our catering roles. We seek individuals who are team players and possess an enthusiastic and proactive attitude towards their work.
As a member of our catering team, you will have a genuine passion for delivering an exceptional dining experience to our residents while maintaining a high level of attention to detail. At the same time, we encourage our team to have fun along the way.
