* Full time, permanent position

* £16.50+ per hour

* 40 hours per week across 4 days

The Care Home was purpose-built to provide outstanding facilities in a quiet and attractive area of Guildford, yet still close to the town centre. The spacious kitchen has modern appliances and everything you could ask for in order to provide tasty home-cooked meals for the residents.

As the Chef you will be in charge of the kitchen team and lead the Cooks and Kitchen Assistants to create balanced and nutritious meals. You will work to create inspiring mealtimes for all residents at the home, catering to all preferences and dietary requirements, using local and fresh produce where possible.
