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
