Chef Wanted – Dundoran Nursing Home
Do you believe food should be made with love, laughter, and maybe just a sprinkle of flour on your apron?
Dundoran Nursing Home (part of Newbloom Healthcare) is on the lookout for a talented Chef to join our warm and welcoming 31-bedded home.
About Us
We’re not your average kitchen. At Dundoran, food isn’t just fuel – it’s joy, comfort, and connection. We pride ourselves on using fresh, seasonal produce and we never say no to a good bake (Victoria sponge, scones, or even a cheeky traybake – we love it all).
What You’ll Be Cooking Up
- Creating delicious, nutritious meals that put a smile on residents’ faces.
- Planning menus with fresh, seasonal ingredients (and plenty of room for creativity).
- Whipping up irresistible home baking (your cakes could become legendary here!).
- Keeping the kitchen organised, safe, and sparkling clean.
- Working with a supportive team who appreciate both good food and good humour.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience as a Chef (care home, hospitality, or restaurant background welcome).
- A real passion for baking and fresh, honest cooking.
- Knowledge of food safety and kitchen best practices.
- Someone who can balance efficiency with creativity – and won’t panic when the scones don’t rise.
- A team player with a positive attitude and a dash of fun.
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a caring, friendly environment where your cooking genuinely makes a difference.
- Competitive pay and supportive management.
- Modern kitchen facilities.
- No late-night restaurant shifts – you’ll have evenings to yourself!
If you can stir up happiness as well as soup, and if your baking is known to make people weak at the knees, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and bring your flavour to Dundoran Nursing Home!
