Love Things Spotless? So Do We.

We’re looking for a reliable, hardworking and detail-focused Kitchen Assistant to join our team in Bransty, Whitehaven.

You’ll play a vital role in creating a clean, safe and welcoming home for our residents — because in care, environment matters just as much as compassion.

What We’re Looking For

• A strong work ethic and attention to detail
• Pride in cleanliness and presentation
• A team player with a positive attitude
• Commitment to residents’ dignity, comfort and safety
• Willingness to learn — full training provided

You don’t need qualifications — just the right values and mindset.
