Are you looking for your next challenge without split shifts and anti-social hours? Would you like full autonomy over menu development, with the opportunity to cook nutritious, high quality, flavoursome and well-balanced meals that our residents will love?
Working as a Chef in our homes, you’ll oversee all aspects of our kitchen and catering services including management of a small team, ensuring the highest standards of nutrition, hygiene and safety at all times. You may occasionally be asked to cater for meals for other day centres, luncheon clubs and community activities and some weekend work will be required.

Nutrition is an

important element of the care package that we provide. You’ll be actively involved in the nutritional needs of our residents to ensure that a high-quality dining experience is received by everyone. You’ll build relationships with our residents and their families so that you understand and can accommodate their personal preferences.

Grace Care Centre is a 70 bed Care Home located on the outskirts of the Historic town of Thornbury.

The home offers compassionate and personalised 24-hour specialist dementia and residential care in a comfortable, homely setting. AND IN RETURN The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and

we’re currently the second largest not
-for-profit provider in the UK.
Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in.

Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.

  • 30 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
  • A Company pension

to have previous experience of working in a professional kitchen, providing meals for large numbers, with knowledge of menu planning for specialist diets. Ideally you will hold, or be working towards, a Level 3 Diploma in Hospitality Supervision and Leadership or equivalent but this is not essential.
You’ll have experience of leading, motivating and inspiring a team and be confident in engaging with our elderly residents to understand their individual needs. You’ll know how to manage your budget and stock effectively.
