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.

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 chose to work at Care UK because of its reputation for delivering excellent quality care, plus the high standards set at Caledonian Court appealed to me.

Before joining the team here, I was a divisional director, so I’ve had many years of management experience. One major career highlight for me was delivering a £73.1 million hospital early and under budget.

I think it’s important for any manager to be friendly and approachable. You also need to be pretty determined but also care about what you do.

What I love most about this role is the level of interaction between the Caledonian Court team and residents. This is a safe and happy environment, and it always makes me feel good to see the support and mutual respect everyone has for each other.

Outside of work, I am a qualified football referee. I also enjoy the great outdoors and like to play golf, as well as go walking and travelling.
