Cook With Purpose - Be Part of Something New

Active Pathways is coming to Manchester.

In September 2026, we will open Willow Rise, a brand-new residential mental health rehabilitation service in Droylsden—and we’re looking for a passionate and experienced Head Cook / Chef to lead our kitchen from day one.

This is more than a cooking role. This is your opportunity to:

Create a kitchen service that is at the heart of recovery and wellbeing
Build and lead your own kitchen team and environment
Help shape the experience of our very first residents
Be part of launching something meaningful, exciting, and new

Why This Role Matters

At Willow Rise, food is more than nutrition—it’s comfort, routine, independence, and connection. As Head Cook, you’ll play a key role in supporting recovery by delivering high-quality, nutritious, and enjoyable meals that meet individual needs and preferences.

You’ll also contribute to a safe, welcoming and therapeutic environment, where residents feel valued and supported.

Lead a brand-new kitchen service
Make a real difference to people’s daily lives
Combine creativity with structure and care
Support residents to engage with food, cooking, and life skills

About Willow Rise

Located in the heart of Manchester, Willow Rise is a brand-new residential rehabilitation service in Droylsden, created as a place where recovery is not only possible — it is truly empowered.

Inspired by the Willow tree, a symbol of resilience, healing, and quiet strength, Willow Rise reflects our belief that every individual can grow through adversity, rebuild stability, and move forward with confidence.

Designed to feel like a genuine fresh start, Willow Rise offers a safe, therapeutic, and welcoming environment where people are supported with dignity to rediscover independence, purpose, and a sense of belonging.

At its core, Willow Rise represents:

Willow — healing, flexibility, and emotional grounding
Rise — progress, empowerment, and the belief that everyone can move forward

The Best Bits

Annual leave of 22 days, plus Bank Holidays with extra days rewarded at 2 and 5 years
Refer a Friend scheme – earn up to £500 per referral
Health Cash Plan – covers dental, optical, virtual GP, counselling, and includes discounted gym membership
Workplace pension scheme
Free Blue Light Card membership
Free enhanced DBS checks, on-site parking, and lunch (for site-based roles)

What You'll Be Doing

As Head Cook, you will:

Plan and prepare nutritious, balanced, and high-quality meals tailored to residents’ needs
Ensure all meals meet dietary, cultural, and allergen requirements
Lead, supervise, and support kitchen staff, including rota planning and development
Manage stock ordering, budgets, and kitchen resources effectively
Maintain the highest standards of food hygiene, health & safety, and infection control
Contribute to a positive, welcoming dining experience for residents and visitors
Involve and support residents in kitchen-based activities where appropriate
Lead on audits, inspections, and continuous improvement within the kitchen

What We're Looking For

Experience as a Head Cook, Chef, or in a similar leadership role
Strong knowledge of food hygiene, safety, and kitchen compliance standards
Experience planning meals for diverse dietary and nutritional needs
Ability to lead, organise, and motivate a team
Good stock control and budget management skills
A positive, flexible, and proactive approach
A genuine interest in supporting people in a care environment
