There are opportunities for career development, funded training up to QCF level 5, and additional benefits like a Blue Light discount package and a company pension scheme. The role requires at least 12 months' right to work and a background in kitchen management. Familiarity with the IDDSI framework is desirable, and experience in a care home kitchen is a must.
