GIVE BACK, FIND BALANCE, AND COOK WITH PURPOSE

Aramark UK is currently recruiting a Cook to join our team in Bath, preparing wholesome, home-cooked meals for individuals experiencing homelessness. This is more than a cooking job — it’s a meaningful opportunity to contribute to a cause that matters, in a calm, creative environment where quality comes before quantity.
Based within a charity-run lifehouse, you’ll prepare meals for up to 28 residents per day, using your skills to create nutritious dishes that offer comfort and dignity. This isn’t a fast-paced or high-pressure kitchen — it’s a role that gives you the freedom to cook with heart, while building connections and making a genuine impact.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Preparing hot and cold meals, including breakfast, main meals, and desserts, in a canteen-style environment
• Following set menus or developing your own ideas — you’ll have creative freedom
• Managing and supporting catering assistants or kitchen porters on shift
• Serving residents and engaging in a friendly, respectful manner
• Ensuring food safety and hygiene protocols are consistently followed
• Cleaning work areas and supporting kitchen upkeep
• Taking your time to focus on quality, presentation, and taste
