Cook in Nottingham

FTE Framework is a charity delivering housing, health, employment, support and care services to people with a diverse range of needs across the East Midlands. Edwin House is a 41 bed CQC registered residential care setting that specialises in providing 24-hour person-centred care and support for individuals with current or historic alcohol dependency syndrome and/or substance use.

The service is comprised of two residential accommodations: one where residents are working towards recovery and abstinence, and another where residents have already achieved abstinence but continue to need care and support. We provide a non-judgmental trauma-informed approach to delivering care to those with severe multiple disadvantage.

We are looking for 2 new team members to deliver a full catering service providing healthy and varied meals within our budget and timelines. You must be able to provide immediate cover in emergency situations and have a WE CAN attitude. As a team, we are open to change and looking forward to welcoming new team members with fresh ideas and a flexible approach to work.
