2nd Chef

Barchester Healthcare is looking for an outstanding 2nd Chef to
provide first class food and hospitality within the needs of a care
home environment.
Barchester is all about doing things a little bit differently. If you
join us as 2nd Chef, get ready for something new. Our unique approach
to the care sector sets us apart, so to make things happen our people
need to be a little bit different too.
This is a fantastic time to join Barchester Healthcare, as we roll
out one of the best rewards packages in the care sector. We offer a
competitive salary and impressive benefits; not least an outstanding
profit share scheme, unrivalled in this sector, designed to recognise
the excellent performance of you and your team.
You will be given the opportunity to advance your career with the
Barchester Chef Academy which offers continuous training and
development. You can also showcase your talent in the annual
Barchester Hospitality Awards which are fiercely contested.
As 2nd Chef with Barchester, you will demonstrate creative flair,
nutritional understanding and leadership skills, combined with a
genuine interest in the people we support. Highly valued and popular
with residents, families and staff, our chefs are key personalities
within our homes.
You will support and deputise for the Head Chef to ensure that all
food not only looks and tastes delicious but also reflects the
preferences and dietary requirements of each resident. You will assist
the Head Chef to design menus, manage all aspects of the kitchen,
control the budget and lead the catering team.
A Basic Food Hygiene certificate is required and a catering
qualification such as City & Guilds 706 1/2 or equivalent is
ideally required for this role, as is experience in a similar position.
Barchester Healthcare has over 200 purpose-built care homes across
all areas of the UK specialising in care for the elderly and seven
private hospitals in the North East specialising in mental health. We
are the only care company to have been voted in the Sunday Times Top
25 Big Companies to work for 6 times.
If you have the unique qualities required for this exciting role and
want to work with an organisation that provides the type of care you'd
expect for your loved ones, we would welcome your application.
