  1. Oakham Grange
Oakham Grange are looking for a talented, experienced and self-motivated Chef to join the care home team on a full-time contract. The successful candidate will assist the team in delivering efficient and enticing menus for the residents. "Oakham Grange is situated in the heart of the Barleythorpe community. We are a state-of-the-art facility with a brand-new kitchen, fantastic equipment and resources to work with. We don't even monitor your budgets overly tightly, because our priority is giving you the ability to cook amazing food for our amazing residents, not profit. We are not the average care home, and we do not provide average food for our residents, we are more like a 5* hotel!" The candidate will:

Have previous experience working in a professional kitchen environment

Be confident preparing, cooking and presenting appetising, balanced and varied nutritious foods

Ensure that the kitchen is kept clean and hygienic at all times and the environment is safe

Supervise and mentor junior chefs and kitchen assistants to be efficient within their roles, and deputise in the absence of the Head Chef

Support the Head Chef.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to creating quality menus that are accessible to all residents, reflect seasonal changes and offer a good range of choices. Previous care home experience and knowledge of IDDSI would be an advantage, but in no way is essential as full training will be provided.

Based just outside of Oakham, the candidate will have a short commute and will earn a starting salary of £24,427, which includes additional allowance and unsocial hours pay, as well as excellent benefits.

Keeping a prison running smoothly and safely takes many things - good judgement, common sense and responsibility to name a few. Above all, though, it takes teamwork. And as part of the HMP Stoken team you'll be right at the heart of it.

Work confidently in a busy, professional environment

Operate on a shift-pattern that will include regular night and weekend work
