A catering role at Care UK

A catering career at Care UK

Join our team and you'll have the chance to get creative in the kitchen while cooking up nutritious, well-balanced meals that have a direct impact on residents’ health and wellbeing.  

Many catering colleagues join us from restaurants or hotels where they’re used to working long hours late into the night. In a care home, you’ll work more sociable hours, and you’ll also have the opportunity to build relationships by getting to know residents and their tastes and preferences. This is a role where you can really make a difference. 

Looking to progress in your career? Our Chef Academy is designed to support individuals in our hospitality teams to become the future kitchen chefs and leaders within Care UK.

Everyone needs to feel motivated and rewarded, so we offer a competitive package of pay and benefits. Read more here.

Here at Care UK, we want all our colleagues to have a long and successful career with us. Our vision is to provide an inclusive training culture that empowers all colleagues with sector-leading development opportunities. View our opportunities for apprenticeships, development programmes and career progression.

At Care UK, we're proud to promote our diverse workforce and are committed to nurturing an inclusive culture. Our teams’ wellbeing is our top priority, and we believe it’s important to foster a culture of promoting open and honest conversations. Read more here.

As a colleague at Care UK, we believe it’s important that you know what you can expect from your manager to ensure people are fairly treated and properly recognised from day one. Our People Promise sets out clearly what you can expect from your manager and Care UK.

Trusted to care

A closely-knit team of managers, carers, nurses and support colleagues – and each of us is dedicated to your loved one’s care, health and wellbeing.

I started my career as a care assistant and I joined Care UK in 2006. Since then I’ve worked hard and moved up the ladder to become home manager. I was the deputy manager at Broadwater Lodge, another Care UK home, for seven years before moving to Kingsleigh and was part of the team when it was rated ‘outstanding’ by the CQC. I’m very proud of Kingleigh’s latest CQC report – ‘good’ overall, with a ‘good’ rating for all five areas inspected

I’m a real people person with a passion for helping others. So it’s probably no surprise if I say that my favourite part of the day is ‘tea at 3’. This is when all team members down tools to have a cup of tea and a catch up with residents. We have some lovely conversations. 

I’ve worked my way up the ranks, and I want to help other colleagues to do the same. I’m looking forward to being able to develop others in their roles and empower them to make a difference in residents’ lives.
