Kitchen Assistant - Haddington

As Kitchen Assistant, you will support our chefs with meal preparation, maintain a clean and safe kitchen environment, and ensure food is stored and handled correctly. Your role helps ensure that residents receive high-quality meals every day. You will assist with deliveries, maintain tidiness in the kitchen, and follow all relevant hygiene and safety procedures. Whether plating up meals, cleaning equipment, or supporting daily kitchen routines, your contribution will make a real difference to the quality of life for our residents.

Experience in a kitchen setting is welcomed but not essential - we are equally keen to hear from individuals with a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn. If you enjoy being part of a busy team and take pride in your work, you will thrive in this role.
