Work life balance...Three words that do not often come up in a chef’s vocabulary, yet this is exactly what Care UK is offering.

NVQ level 2 and 3 cookery levels would be preferred but experience in similar roles in the care, hotel /restaurant industry or event catering but certainly working with fresh food.
