Set on the banks of the River Evenlode in the heart of the Cotswolds, this beautiful and historic Grade II listed house is a place of utmost comfort where residents can enjoy life in the homeliest of surroundings. An important part of our care provision is supporting our Head Chef in the delivery of nutritious but delicious food that makes the best use of available fresh produce.

Duties as an Assistant Chef are varied, and no two days will be the same in the home’s busy kitchen. As a general guide you will prepare, cook and serve hot and cold meals, providing special dietary requirements where necessary for residents. Reporting to the Head Chef, you will plan and cost menus, maintaining accurate records and the correct orders of food supplies.
You will also check deliveries and ensure all crockery and equipment is cleaned and stored appropriately and the kitchen, dining areas, including equipment, are cleaned to statutory Health and Safety standards.
