Are you an experienced Cook looking for a new challenge? Join us as our new Cook at Roseside care home in Liverpool.

In this role, you’ll cook delicious, healthy and nutritious meals for the people we support in our care home.

Meal times are an important part of our daily routine, even more so for those living in care homes.

In this role, you’ll ensure that everyone has a positive dining experience, to increase nutritional intake, promote social interaction and build a sense of community.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your cooking skills to make a real difference every day.

About Exemplar Health Care

Ribble View is part of Exemplar Health Care, a leading provider of nursing care for adults living with complex and high acuity needs.

We support adults living with complex mental health needs, neuro-disabilities and physical disabilities. The home is also registered to support adults with learning disabilities, where it’s the right fit.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

About the role

Our Cooks make delicious and nourishing meals for people with a range of dietary requirements.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

* preparing, cooking and serving food

* understanding people’s needs, likes and choices to develop suitable menus

* interacting with the people we support to get feedback on meals

* complying with food hygiene standards

* completing relevant checks and maintaining records

* being a great team player, working as part of the wider Catering Team.

You’ll put people at the heart of everything you do. We can guarantee that whatever you bring to the role, you’ll see great rewards.

If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.

About you

Above all, you’re someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

You’re also:

* a cook with a flair for creating delicious and nutritious meals for varied dietary requirements

* creative in menu development and food preparation

* an excellent team player

* adaptable and flexible

* someone with excellent verbal and written communication skills.

We like our Cooks to have a food hygiene certificate and a relevant catering qualification, but these aren’t necessary.

What we offer

We offer great rewards and perks including:

* excellent supervision, peer support, learning opportunities and career prospects

* access to wages before payday

* retail and lifestyle reward discounts

* free DBS check

* 24/7 counselling and support

* Blue Light Card eligibility.
