Offering compassionate, individualised residential and dementia care for up to 43 residents, at Hartsholme House our residents’ well-being and comfort is our prime focus. This means that responding to their individual needs is our top priority, so we are very proud to have received an "Outstanding" our last CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspection.

Care charity and provider The Orders of St John Care Trust are respected in the care sector for a flexible range of care provision, making the most of voluntary sector contributions to help vulnerable adults achieve a more dignified lifestyle.

We are currently looking to recruit a Bank Kitchen Assistant to join our team!

As a Kitchen Assistant you will be responsible for helping to prepare the meals, snacks and drinks for residents within the guidelines set by the Home Manager and Chef / Cook.

You will understand and promote the philosophy of choice rights and fulfilment for all residents.

You will get to know the residents and understand their likes and dislikes to ensure that they enjoy their dining experience

As a key member of the OSJCT Team you can expect benefits such as:

• Company pension.
  • Paid breaks
  • Paid DBS
  • Higher rate of pay at weekends
  • Free Uniform
  • Free Training
  • Development and progression opportunities
  • Overtime available
  • “My Rewards” offering you discount on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more!

Due to our strong training team you do not need to have previous experience all we ask for is someone who is passionate about ensuring our residents received the best care possible.

This is a rewarding role full of moments that will make a huge difference to people’s lives. If you feel this may be for you then please apply below.

All candidates will be required to have an enhanced DBS which is on the update service. All offers are conditional upon satisfactory background checks.

Our commitment to be sector-leading in all aspects of safety for our colleagues and residents has ensured that we always have full PPE supplies for all our services. Our early adoption of the vaccine means as a key worker you will have access to personally being vaccinated, alongside ‘instant’ tests, known as Lateral Flow Tests, for every day you work in one of our homes.

The Government’s ‘Infection Control Fund’ (introduced as a result of the Coronavirus) requires Care homes to restrict permanent and temporary staff to working in only one care home, to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. As a result of this, if you already have another job elsewhere (either in Care or another sector) and you wish to continue working there alongside the Trust, unfortunately we would not be able to progress with your application at this time. However, if you are happy to consider committing to working for us exclusively until the restrictions are lifted we are happy to discuss guaranteeing you the hours you will lose from not being able to work your second job. Or once the restrictions are lifted, please do not hesitate to re-apply for any of our roles that maybe of interest to you then.
