Employment Type: 38 hours.
The working pattern for this role is over a 7-day period, so full flexibility across this period is required.
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 Cook, 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 Cook, 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
This position is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
