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.

The Barton Manor team is committed to delivering exceptional care every day. Our vision is that residents feel supported in a beautiful home with a real family atmosphere. For me, it is about improving quality of life for everyone here.

I have had previous experience as a Home Manager and have also been a palliative carer within the NHS. I have level 2,3,4 and 5 NVQs and have completed counselling skills at levels 2 and 3.

In this role, you need resilience, empathy and passion. You also need to be reliable so that people can trust and rely on you to take responsibility. Being here at the start and commissioning Barton Manor has been such a career highlight. It’s been a hard journey, but every moment has been worth it. Seeing the home grow and watching colleagues develop has been incredibly rewarding.

Walk-arounds are my favourite part of the day. It is when I get the chance to see residents and have a chat. Seeing everyone relaxed and happy, whether they’re singing, dancing or taking part in other activities, is lovely.

In my spare time I enjoy walking my two amazing Tibetan terriers. I also like to relax with family and friends.
