About the Role

Are you a Chef looking for a more rewarding role with better work–life balance?

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Chef to join our team at a well-established, family-run nursing home in Kilmarnock. This is a unique opportunity to step into a fulfilling role where your work has a direct and meaningful impact on residents’ daily lives.

Unlike many hospitality roles, this position offers consistent hours, minimal late evenings, and a healthier work–life balance, with most shifts finishing by 6:30pm and every second weekend off.

You will work alongside another Chef in a shared senior role, ensuring full kitchen coverage across the week while maintaining high standards.

Working Pattern

This role follows a structured two-week rota:

  • Week 1: Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday (9:30am – 6:30pm)
  • Week 2: Tuesday (9:30am – 5:30pm), Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (9:30am – 6:30pm)

Some flexibility is required from time to time to help cover holidays or absence within the team.

About Us

We are a family-owned and operated care home providing high-quality, person-led care for up to 70 residents. Our catering team plays a vital role in delivering not just nutrition, but enjoyment, comfort and dignity through food.

What Makes This Role Different

  • ✅ Finish by 6:30pm every day
  • ✅ Every second weekend off
  • ✅ Structured, predictable rota
  • ✅ A genuinely rewarding role where you see the difference you make
  • ✅ Opportunity to build relationships with residents and tailor menus

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and deliver nutritious, high-quality meals for residents
  • Work with fresh, seasonal produce to create balanced menus
  • Engage with residents to understand their preferences and dietary needs
  • Support menu planning and ongoing development
  • Maintain high standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and kitchen organisation
  • Ensure compliance with food safety procedures (HACCP)
  • Assist with stock control, ordering and working within budget
  • Support kitchen audits and documentation
  • Step up to manage the kitchen when the other Chef is off

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Passionate about cooking and delivering quality food
  • Warm, approachable and genuinely interested in residents’ wellbeing
  • Comfortable working in a busy kitchen environment
  • Reliable and confident working both independently and as part of a team

Essential:

  • Previous cooking experience (minimum 1 year)
  • Relevant qualification (City & Guilds, NVQ/SVQ or equivalent)
  • Good understanding of nutrition
  • Knowledge of food safety and HACCP

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly rate from £15.36
  • Company pension
  • On-site parking
  • Supportive, friendly team environment
  • A role where your work is valued and appreciated

Pay: £15.36 per hour

Benefits:

  • Company pension
  • On-site parking

Work Location: In person
