About The Role

We are looking to appoint a Senior Cook, within our service at Low Laithes located at Wombwell, Barnsley. The role of the Cook involves being responsible for all aspects of catering within the service.  It is about making sure the kitchen produces attractive food to a high nutritional standard for a range of meals and occasions. 
 
The role requires an organised individual to draw upon a range of practical skills, have a sound knowledge base and, not least, the ability to communicate, understand people’s needs and build positive relationships with the people we support, your colleagues and visitors.
 
Working hours are Monday to Friday, 10am - 6pm.

You must be reliable and have good communication skills but most importantly have a passion for delivering a great service.
You will be joining a team who are passionate about safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people we support and a company who values its employees.
