Are you an experienced Cook looking for a new challenge? Join us as our new Cook at Lepton Heights care home in Huddersfield.
In this role, you’ll cook delicious, healthy and nutritious meals for the people we support.
You’ll ensure that everyone has a positive dining experience, to increase nutritional intake, promote social interaction and build a sense of community.

When open, Lepton Heights will support adults living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health needs, dementia and physical disabilities.
Although the home is set to open in January 2025, you’ll begin a tailored induction one month prior.
This will give you the opportunity to learn about the company, meet your colleagues and complete your training, so you're fully prepared when the home officially opens.
In the meantime, we'll stay in touch via email or WhatsApp, sharing regular updates on the progress of your new workplace.
As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.
About the role
Our Cooks make delicious and nourishing meals for people with a range of dietary requirements.
No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
preparing, cooking and serving food
understanding people’s needs, likes and choices to develop suitable menus
interacting with the people we support to get feedback on meals
complying with food hygiene standards
completing relevant checks and maintaining records
being a great team player, working as part of the wider Catering Team.
If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.
