  • Use the picking sheet and ensure that all items, including the correct portion sizes are picked and placed into the insulated food trolleys and the trolley signed off as correctly packed.
  • Complete picking and packing – this can involve a requirement to exert moderate physical effort for long periods of the shift.
  • Fill oven from insulated food trolley, ensuring that only meals required for service or cooked, returning any other items back to the central freezer.
  • Use the regen oven to cook meals, ensuring cooking guidance followed, so that quality products are prepared for patients.
  • Plate meals, ensuring that the tray is checked against their request and all items are correct and appropriately presented.

The Ideal Candidate Should Meet The Following Criteria

  • Must have Right to Work in the UK
  • An enhanced DBS will be completed for the successful candidate.
  • Excellent customer service skills.
