Here at Whinnieknowe in Nairn we provide the highest levels of care for older people. Our goal is to ensure that every one of our residents enjoys the best possible quality of life. Of course, making sure that they also enjoy tasty and nutritious food is right at the heart of that, which is why this rewarding role is so important.

Don’t think for a moment that you’ll spend all of your time in the kitchen though. You’ll talk to our residents, to find out what they like and to make sure they’re happy with their meals, as well as to relatives and the rest of the team here.

That’s why we used the word ‘rewarding’ earlier. Just hearing someone say “I really liked that soup” with a big smile on their face can make a huge difference to your day.

As well as cooking everything from scratch, you’ll order and check deliveries, update menus and generally keep paperwork up-to-date. So you will need to be well organised and able to manage your own time. We’re looking for previous catering experience and preferably an Elementary Food Handling Certificate. In return there’s an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance.

What’s more, you will be part of one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social work organisations. At CrossReach, we offer quality care and counselling to a wide range of people in need. But the real story of CrossReach is the work that our staff do: reaching out and making a real difference to the lives of others. If you’d like to join them, we look forward to hearing from you.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it. You do not need to share our faith. This post is subject to PVG Membership.

Here at Oversteps in Dornoch we don’t just see those we work with as older people. They’re someone’s mum. Someone’s dad. Someone’s grandparent.

As part of our close-knit and supportive team you will effectively manage the running of the unit, leading and directing other staff members on the shift. To succeed you’ll have experience of care work and an HNC in Social Care or SVQ Level 3 as well as effective decision making skills and ideally experience of supervising other staff. In return we offer every support for your professional development and an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance.
