Full Job Description

You will ensure the wellbeing and safety of our residents, being the first port of call for our residents to report any issues they may have, to investigate and escalate where necessary. Budget management and basic computer skills would be an advantage, however full support and training will be given by our friendly and supportive staff.

No paid kitchen experience needed, but must be comfortable cooking for up to eleven people. We are looking for people that enjoy cooking for family or friends to cook a tasty lunch and lighter tea in the late afternoon evening.

Our ideal candidates will have the following qualities

  • A cheerful and friendly demeanour, understanding the needs of older people

  • Someone that enjoys being creative in the kitchen, whether it be a signature dish or your secret cake recipe

  • A person that takes pride in what they do

  • Somebody that is organised, confident and happy to engage with others, sharing relevant information within the wider Housing team.

  • Able to offer a warm welcome to family, friends of Abbeyfield and contractors, both in person and over the phone

    At Abbeyfield, we want our residents to feel part of a community, where they feel empowered, safe and respected. Our staff offer a friendly face with guarantee of a tasty home cooked meal, in a clean and warm environment, so that our residents can enjoy their later years in comfort and with peace of mind.
