Are you an experienced Cook looking for a new challenge? Join us as our new Cook at Coronation Court care home in Cannock.

In this role, you’ll cook delicious, healthy and nutritious meals for the people we support. 

You’ll ensure that everyone has a positive dining experience, to increase nutritional intake, promote social interaction and build a sense of community. 

Coronation Court care home is set to open in 2025, offering you a unique opportunity to be part of a brand-new team in a state-of-the-art, purpose-built home. This is your chance to truly make an impact!

 

About Exemplar Health Care 

Coronation Court is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country’s leading nursing care providers. 

When open, Coronation Court will support adults living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health needs, dementia and physical disabilities. 

Although the home is set to open in January 2025, you’ll begin a tailored induction one month prior. 

This will give you the opportunity to learn about the company, meet your colleagues and complete your training, so you're fully prepared when the home officially opens.

In the meantime, we'll stay in touch via email or WhatsApp, sharing regular updates on the progress of your new workplace.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

 

About the role

Our Cooks make delicious and nourishing meals for people with a range of dietary requirements. 

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • preparing, cooking and serving food 

  • understanding people’s needs, likes and choices to develop suitable menus

  • interacting with the people we support to get feedback on meals 

  • complying with food hygiene standards

  • completing relevant checks and maintaining records

  • being a great team player, working as part of the wider Catering Team.

If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy, and ongoing training programmes.
