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.

No previous experience? No problem. We’ll give you the training and support you need to succeed.

• Maintaining high standards of cleanliness throughout residents’ rooms and communal areas
• Ensuring beds, bathrooms and living spaces are beautifully presented
• Supporting with laundry and linen to promote comfort and hygiene
• Identifying and reporting potential fire or safety risks

You’ll take pride in your work and notice the details others might miss.

• 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.

We’re a family‑run organisation with over 41 care homes across the UK — and growing.

We believe results come from supporting our people and delivering outstanding care with integrity.
