We help our customers maintain their independence and live their best lives.

About our team

You’ll be working alongside our fabulous team who are super passionate about supporting customers to reach their goals and celebrating their achievements. To us were not just a team we’re a ‘work family’. Our manager is Therese, who has worked for Home Group for 9 years. There are 14 of us in the team and we don’t just love to support our customers, we’re there for each other too! 

Working hours

You’ll work on a rota basis between the hours of 7.30 am and 7pm and take your turn working days, evenings, weekends and bank holidays. We need you to be flexible to meet the needs of our customers, but we aim to give you the time you need to spend time doing the things that matter to you!

About you

You’re passionate and motivated to help vulnerable people make positive and lasting changes to their lives. You’ll impress us with your ability to work on your own initiative, positively influencing people from all different backgrounds. 

As a cook you will be responsible for ensuring that all stock is recorded when received and expenditure records are maintained. You’ll plan and prepare all meals taking into account our diverse customer group to ensure all meals suit a variety of dietary needs and cultures.

If you’re not the biggest fan of technology, that’s not a problem to us. You do need to know that we are quite a high tech company and most of our application process and mandatory learning are online. However, we’re glad to support you, if you need help.  

To make sure our customers are well supported, it’s important that you have worked in either a social housing or care setting environment before and have your level two in Food Safety. Don’t worry, we won’t drop you in the deep end, we’ll help to you understand how things work at Home Group!
