About the role:
Make a rewarding difference in people’s lives every day with BCG. Whether you are new to the care sector or have experience, working within a BCG care home can be incredibly fulfilling.
As Chef, you will lead the kitchen team to serve delicious, well-balanced, and nutritious meals that our residents will love. You'll provide high-quality food service to support residents, responding to their needs and contributing to their overall positive experience in our care.

Lisden Care Home in Kirriemuir is a stunning, classic former grand private house, elegantly updated and set within beautiful private gardens.
We offer a full range of caring support including residential, nursing, convalescent, post-operative, respite and palliative care and also specialise in Alzheimer’s and Dementia care.
A purpose-built specialist Dementia care centre is a recent addition to the main house and enables us to tailor treatment more specifically for our residents with these needs. Our team is fully trained to meet the specific care needs of each resident and this is at the forefront of all that we do.
