Join the Hartford Care Family – Where Every Meal Makes a Difference

Do you love creating home-cooked meals that make people smile? Are you passionate about fresh, nutritious food and want to make a real difference every single day?

At Hartford Care, we’re more than a care provider — we’re a family. We believe in Creating Communities, Caring for Each Other, and Celebrating Individuality. As our Chef, you’ll bring warmth, creativity, and heart to every dish you prepare. Not only that you can bring your culinary skills to a role where you do not need to work late into the night as our shifts are 8am-6pm

The Role

As a Chef, you’ll be at the heart of our home — preparing delicious, wholesome meals and snacks for our residents while keeping the kitchen running smoothly and safely.

From serving a comforting Sunday roast to hosting a bread-making session with residents or planning next week’s menu, you’ll put care and pride into everything you do.

If you’re caring, energetic, and have a great sense of humour, you’ll fit right in!

What You’ll Bring

  • A compassionate, caring nature
  • Basic Food Hygiene Certificate
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • Confidence with IT systems
  • The ability to prepare, cook, and present nutritious, appetising meals
  • Understanding of individual dietary needs
  • Team spirit and flexibility to adapt to a busy environment

This position is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

What You’ll Get

We believe in looking after the people who look after others. Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • Be heard through the Hartford Voice Forum
  • Occupational sick pay and annual pay reviews
  • Life insurance and enhanced parental leave pay
  • Recruitment referral bonuses
  • Blue Light discounts
  • Free DBS check and NMC PIN reimbursement
  • Salary sacrifice schemes and access to Wagestream (draw down earned pay before payday!)
  • A wide range of learning and development opportunities

Ready to Cook Up a Career That Cares?

If you’re passionate about great food and want to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and join the Hartford Care family!
