Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Head Chef will lead the daily operations of the catering department, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, nutritious meals for patients and visitors. They are responsible for managing the catering team, overseeing budgets, and maintaining strict food safety and hygiene standards.
Candidates must have proven experience leading a catering team in a busy environment and possess strong knowledge of food safety legislation and HACCP principles. A recognised catering qualification and relevant food hygiene certifications are required for this role.
Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they’re likely to die from.
The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 ways:
Are you an experienced and passionate chef looking for a leadership role where you can make a genuine difference every day?
At Marie Curie Edinburgh Hospice, we're seeking an exceptional Head Chef to lead our dedicated catering team and deliver high-quality, nutritious meals that bring comfort, enjoyment and dignity to patients, families, visitors, volunteers and colleagues.
This is a unique opportunity to combine your culinary expertise with inspiring leadership, helping to create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone who comes through our doors.
Food plays a vital role in the comfort and wellbeing of those receiving hospice care. As our Head Chef, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact every day, using your skills to create meals that truly matter.
In return, you'll join a caring and supportive team within a respected national charity, where your contribution will be valued and your work will make a real difference to patients and their families. If you're ready to lead a talented team and use your culinary skills to make every meal count, we'd love to hear from you.
