Kitchen Assistant

The care sector is such a rich and rewarding place to work, you don’t have to be a carer to make a meaningful difference in our care homes. Unfortunately we do not offer sponsorship at this present time.

We want the kindest and most resilient people to come and support our Residents – no two days will be the same and you will receive the ongoing learning and development you need to thrive.

In your role as Kitchen Assistant at The Redhouse Care Home we value one thing above all - Kindness. Every single person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining us you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

We have a vacancy in our team for a part time Kitchen Assistant at our Care
Home, Fareham, Kent to work 19 hours per week which includes alternate weekend working.

About You

As a Kitchen Assistant that will mean helping to prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. You’ll demonstrate the highest standards in cleanliness, food safety and hygiene. And, whether you’re maintaining food supplies and fridge/freezer temperatures, showing new starters how to use the equipment or scrubbing that last bit of spilled food from inside the oven, you’ll always have Resident wellbeing in mind above anything else.

We are looking for a Kitchen Assistant with some kitchen experience, but what’s for certain is that you’ll have either an NVQ2 in Catering or Food Preparation or the willingness to study for one. Great record keeping and organisational skills will be essential, as will the ability to follow recipes. And, whenever you communicate with a Resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.

We’ll provide ongoing training, so it’s a great opportunity to learn something new.

We are passionate about ensuring that our current and future Colleagues can be their true selves, and that our workforce represents the communities we serve. We prioritise inclusive working practices and invite applicants from all backgrounds into our RCB Healthcare family and we are committed to providing the quickest possible turnaround from the point of making you a job offer to you starting with us on day one.
