Care Home Chef

Job summary

Fairmile Grange Nursing Home — Part of the Allegra Care Family

At Allegra Care, we believe home should feel like home. That’s why we follow a unique household model of care, creating warm, family?style environments where residents feel truly comfortable, valued, and supported.

Every day, our compassionate teams build meaningful relationships, helping residents maintain independence, dignity, and wellbeing. It’s care with heart — and you could be part of it.

Chef – 40 hours per week

We’re looking for an energetic, creative and caring qualified Chef to join our close?knit team at our beautiful home in Christchurch.

Mealtimes are a real highlight for our residents, and you’ll play a key role in making them special. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves cooking with purpose and wants to make a genuine difference.

What you’ll be doing

• Creating fresh, nutritious and delicious menus tailored to residents’ tastes and dietary needs
• Working closely with residents, managers and the care team to design meals that feel personal and homely
• Bringing ideas, passion and imagination to a domestic-style kitchen environment
• Delivering a hospitality experience you can be proud of — without the late nights or intense pressure of mainstream catering

What we’re looking for

• A qualified, experienced Chef who cares about quality and presentation
• Someone who enjoys working in a warm, friendly environment
• A team player with a positive, can?do attitude
• An understanding of special diets and nutritional needs

What we offer

• Up to £15.68 per hour
• A flexible schedule — our home is open seven days a week, but the hours are far more family?friendly than traditional hospitality
• The chance to genuinely impact lives every day
• Support, training and opportunities to grow your career as part of a developing and ambitious care group

Join us at Fairmile Grange and discover a role that’s fulfilling, inspiring and truly rewarding.

Apply today and become part of our Allegra Care family.
