About Us
Homeless Action is a Blackpool-based charity providing accommodation and support to people experiencing homelessness. Every day, we prepare and serve nutritious, home-cooked meals for 79 residents across three supported homeless hostels. We believe that a good meal can make a real difference, and we're looking for someone who shares that belief.
The Role
Working alongside our experienced cooks, you will assist with the preparation and service of meals, helping to ensure our residents receive high-quality food in a clean, safe and welcoming environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to begin or develop a career in catering. Previous experience is not essential—we're looking for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn, and a strong work ethic. Full training will be provided.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist with the preparation and cooking of meals.
- Carry out food preparation, including washing, peeling and chopping ingredients.
- Maintain high standards of cleanliness throughout the kitchen.
- Clean kitchen equipment, utensils and work surfaces.
- Keep dining areas clean, tidy and ready for meal service.
- Follow food hygiene and health & safety procedures.
- Complete mandatory training and learn new skills on the job.
- Work closely with the catering team to provide an excellent service to our residents.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
- Is reliable, dependable and takes pride in turning up ready to work every day.
- Has a genuine passion for learning and developing new skills.
- Works well as part of a team.
- Has a positive, can-do attitude.
- Is organised and able to work in a busy kitchen environment.
- Understands the importance of cleanliness and food hygiene.
Previous catering experience is not essential. We can teach the skills needed for the role, but reliability, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are qualities that cannot be taught and are therefore essential.
What We Offer
- £13.45 per hour.
- Permanent, part-time position (32 hours per week).
- Full training and ongoing development.
- Supportive and friendly team environment.
- The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of people experiencing homelessness by helping provide nutritious, home-cooked meals every day.
If you're reliable, eager to learn and want to be part of a team that makes a genuine difference in the local community, we'd love to hear from you.
All applicants must pass an enhanced DBS check and provide satisfactory references.
