Head of Service
Job Type : Permanent, Full Time
Salary : £9.00/hour
About The Role
The care sector is such a rich and rewarding place to work. There is variety in your work and in the roles available – you don't have to be a carer to make a meaningful difference in our care homes. 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 learning and development you need to thrive.
In your role as Head of Service at HC-One, you'll value one thing above all. Kindness. It carries across every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist Care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, where we have 40 hour contracts available, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
About You
As Head of Service that will mean helping to prepare and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our residents will love. Assisting and preparing the cakes for the morning tea trolley and the lunch time dessert/cakes. 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 well-being in mind above anything else.
HC-One are looking for someone with kitchen experience. You must be aware of The Food Safety Act 1990, The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, RIDDOR and COSHH regulations. 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.
Well, after all, it's just in your nature.
