We are looking for a mobile chef to join our Facilities Bank to work on a flexible basis on an ‘as and when’ basis when shifts become available, based primarily at Wathwood Hospital but shifts may also be available at other sites.

Further discussion about our sites and availability to work at these will be discussed at interview.

Previous experience of a busy catering environment is a requirement.

### Main duties of the job

To be responsible for the provision of the patient meals by undertaking specific outlined and approved processes and procedures to ensure the quality and food safety of meals at service are safe and appropriate and within the guidelines of food hygiene legislation.

Please note that this post does not meet the pay level required for a Skilled worker visa.

As this is a Bank position the salary is below the minimum salary required for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa. In these circumstances the Trust would not, therefore, be able to sponsor for a Skilled Worker / Health & Care visa.

A full UK driving licence and vehicle for business use is required for this post; however reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled individuals in line with the Equality Act 2010.
