Weekend Kitchen Assistant

We're looking for a reliable and committed Kitchen Porter to join our team and become a valued part of day-to-day life in our home Brook View located near West Moors in Ferndown, Dorset.

You'll take pride in your role, settling for nothing less than spotless dishes, cutlery and kitchen equipment, helping maintain a clean and hygienic kitchen environment.

You'll support the chef to offer a consistent, nutritious daily menu using fresh local produce and ingredients, helping make a meaningful difference to the health and well-being of our residents each and every day.

We always look to inspire, develop and motivate our staff through a successful succession plan. Our catering roles are wide and varied, and there are many other exciting roles within the home that play an important part of day-to-day life for our residents, so who knows where this exciting journey may lead?

If a career in care is for you and you want to be part of something special, we'd love you to apply. A member of our dedicated recruitment team will then be in touch to discuss the positions available and help identify those that best suit your work/life balance and location.

You're a team player with an enthusiasm for what you do and a can-do attitude. You'll have a genuine passion for creating an exceptional resident dining experience, with attention to detail and a sense of fun.

As part of the catering team, you'll aspire to the highest standards, showing great teamwork to ensure that all regulations for food health and hygiene are adhered to at all times.
