A friendly smile and a comforting cuppa can help lift local families going through the toughest of times.

Could you be the Bank/Casual Catering Assistant we need for our talented team at Turnchapel?

It’s not just the medical care we give our patients that helps them feel as at ease as possible. For those we look after at Turnchapel, it is about creating a welcoming haven, the ‘home from home’ they need so they can be themselves, get the most from every day and spend quality time with loved ones.

If you want to use your catering experience in a more meaningful way and be in control of when and how much you work, this could just be your perfect role.

We are proud to have gained the 5-star standard from Environmental Health for our busy kitchen and Driftwood Café for patients, visitors and staff.

This is a catering job like no other, where a smile and friendly chat with a patient on the ward or a welcome cup of tea for their visitors can make a vital difference to people going through the toughest of times. You could even be wheeling our famous drinks trolley, making sure our patients get to enjoy their favourite tipple each day!

Working at the heart of our hospice, you will be part of a supportive team in a positive, uplifting environment in stunning surroundings.

To deliver and maintain the high standards of St Luke’s, our kitchen is staffed between 9am and 6.30pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This is covered on a set rota, so a degree of flexibility is required from the successful candidate.

We’re an equal opportunities employer

Hello and thank you for checking out our current vacancy.

It’s worth setting up a job alert or simply checking back in regularly because - as St Luke's continues to meet the demand of caring for more families - we're always evolving and new opportunities spring up, both clinical and non-clinical. One of them could be just what you're looking for!

We value all our people - not only our specialist doctors, nurses and social workers, but also our colleagues more behind the scenes, from our maintenance and catering staff to our fundraisers, administrators, educators and IT team. And that's just to name a few! It takes a vast variety of skills, experience and knowledge to keep our vital service running smoothly.

As an Employer of Choice, we offer our staff a wide range of benefits and rewards. Not only generous annual leave and pension schemes, but a fantastic health scheme to help towards the cost of eye tests, dental care and physiotherapy. In addition, this gives you access a GP, and counselling and practical information helplines, 24/7.

While working with our hospice is hugely rewarding, knowing you're helping us make such an important difference, we recognise it's work that can be challenging emotionally. That's why, when you join us, we'll be here to support you all the way.
