Full job description

Ready to make a real impact while working somewhere genuinely different?

At Burdon Grange, we’re not your typical care home—we’re a warm, lively, forward-thinking community supporting adults (from 18 onwards) living with neurological conditions, physical disabilities and acquired brain injuries. Every resident has their own unique personality, sense of humour and goals, and we work as a team to help them reach their fullest potential.

Nestled in beautiful Highampton, Beaworthy, our home is filled with energy, compassion, and a brilliant multidisciplinary team—including carers, hydration assistants, physiotherapists, nurses, domestics, and an activity team—who all work together to enhance the everyday lives of our residents.

You don’t need any formal qualifications or previous experience—just genuine warmth and a desire to make a positive difference to someone who relies on you. Whatever your background, our training and support will help you build and grow your skills. With flexible working options available, you can fit the role around your life.

Follow hygiene, infection control, and health and safety procedures.
Keep kitchen and dining areas clean.
Use PPE and handle and store food safely.
Be alert to allergies, modified diets and choking risks.
Report hazards, incidents or concerns promptly.
Assist with stock rotation, storage and deliveries.
Work closely with care, kitchen and domestic teams.
Share residents' dietary needs and preferences clearly.
Support daily tasks for the Kitchen Manager and Nutrition & Hydration Lead.

On-the-job training and supervision.
