Head Cook – Woodhill Grange Care Home

Specialists in Elderly & Dementia Care

Are you passionate about creating wholesome, nourishing meals that enrich the lives, health, and wellbeing of older people?

At Woodhill Grange, food is central to comfort, dignity, and quality of life. We are seeking a Head Cook who is skilled, caring, and committed to delivering seasonal, nutritious menus that support the physical and cognitive wellbeing of our elderly and dementia residents.

About the Role

As our Head Cook, you will lead the kitchen in preparing fresh, balanced and flavoursome meals using seasonal, high-quality ingredients. You will design menus that promote good health, hydration, and digestion, while supporting residents with memory loss, reduced appetite, or specific dietary needs.

A valued part of the role includes creating nutritious homemade bakes and treats for our weekly resident coffee mornings—providing comforting, familiar flavours while encouraging social connection and enjoyment.

Typical hours: 07:30 – 17:30.

Key Responsibilities

Lead on the preparation and cooking of nutritious, balanced meals tailored to elderly and dementia care
Create homemade baked goods for resident coffee mornings, offering both traditional and health-conscious options
Plan seasonal menus that promote wellbeing, appetite, and enjoyment
Incorporate resident preferences and encourage involvement in menu choices
Cater for a wide range of dietary needs, including modified textures, fortified diets, and specialist nutritional requirements
Manage stock control, ordering, and cost-effective kitchen budgeting
Ensure full compliance with food hygiene, food safety, and infection control standards
Maintain accurate kitchen records, including cleaning schedules and temperature logs
Support a warm, inclusive, homely dining environment for residents
Provide guidance and leadership to kitchen assistants or support staff

About You

You will be:

Passionate about healthy, home-style cooking that supports the needs of older adults
Experienced as a Cook, Senior Cook, or Chef (care home experience beneficial but not essential)
Qualified with Food Hygiene / Food Safety Certificates (or working towards them)
Confident preparing balanced meals for diverse dietary, clinical, and texture-modified needs
Creative and organised, able to run a kitchen independently and efficiently
A supportive team player with good communication skills and a flexible, positive approach

Why Join Woodhill Grange?

⭐ Play a meaningful role in supporting the wellbeing, comfort, and daily experience of our residents
⭐ Lead and shape a dining service that values fresh, seasonal and nutritious food
⭐ Access ongoing training and professional development
⭐ Be part of a friendly, compassionate, values-driven team
⭐ Free enhanced DBS and uniform
⭐ Free on-site parking
