Cycle to Work scheme

Our Extra Care schemes enable people to live independently in their own homes while having access to support when needed. Mealtimes play an important part in community life, providing opportunities for residents to socialise, build friendships and stay connected with those around them.

As a Chef, you'll help create a welcoming dining environment where residents can enjoy spending time together and feel part of their community.

While you'll primarily work across our schemes in Shotton, Wrexham and Welshpool, there may be occasions where you'll provide support at other locations when required.

You can expect to:

• Preparing and serving meals for residents.
• Creating a positive and welcoming dining experience.
• Supporting residents to enjoy mealtimes as a social and community-focused part of their day.
• Maintaining food hygiene, allergen and health and safety standards.
• Managing stock and supplies within the kitchen.
• Working closely with scheme colleagues to support residents' wellbeing.
• Maintaining a clean, safe and organised kitchen environment.
• Travelling between schemes as required to provide support and cover.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people and understands the important role that mealtimes play in bringing communities together.

You will be someone who:

• Shares our values of Trust, Kindness and Hope.
• Is organised, dependable and able to work independently.
• Enjoys building positive relationships with residents and colleagues.
• Has a warm and approachable manner.
• Takes pride in creating a welcoming environment for others.
• Can adapt to working across different locations.

We're keen to hear from people who:

• Have previous chef or catering experience.
• Hold a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate, or are willing to obtain one.
• Understand food safety, allergen management and kitchen compliance requirements.
• Are comfortable working across multiple locations.
• Enjoy interacting with people and contributing to a positive community atmosphere.
• Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle.

At ClwydAlyn, we're committed to creating places where people feel valued, supported and connected.

You'll be joining a friendly and welcoming team where your contribution is genuinely appreciated and where your work helps residents stay connected to their community and enjoy meaningful social interaction every day.

We're committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued and able to thrive.

We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and communities.
