Are you ready to bring your culinary creativity to a role where every meal makes a meaningful difference?
We're looking for a talented Chef to join our friendly team at a dementia-friendly residential care home in the beautiful village of Charlton Down, near Dorchester.
You don't need previous care home experience — we'll provide full training and ongoing support. This is a rewarding opportunity to use your cooking skills to brighten lives every day.
🍴 The Ingredients for Success
Hours: 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM, 4 days per week, with alternate weekends off (great work-life balance!)
Environment: A welcoming, homely elderly care home where you can get to know residents and make a real difference - for those with and without dementias.
Support: Full training provided — ideal for chefs from hospitality, school, or nursery catering backgrounds.
👨🍳 What We're Looking For
- A passion for creating wholesome, home-cooked meals that bring joy to others
- Experience as a Chef, Cook, or in catering (advantageous but not essential)
- A caring, can-do attitude and a genuine desire to support older adults
- A valid DBS check (we'll guide you through the process if needed)
- NO sponsorships is available for this role
- A rewarding role where your food makes a daily difference
- A supportive, close-knit team where you'll feel valued and appreciated
- Opportunities for training and personal development
- A calm, community-focused workplace with a positive atmosphere
Interviews are taking place next week, so don't wait — send us your application today!
Join a team where care, creativity, and community come together to make every mealtime special.
