Bistro Cafe Assistant

South Coast Nursing Homes is an established and successful, family owned and managed, care home company based in Worthing, West Sussex.

We currently operate 9 homes across East and West Sussex. We have 414 beds, having recently added 55 with the opening of a new Nursing home in central Worthing a few months ago, and it’s in this new home, The Poets, that a brand-new Bistro facility will be operating.

Each registered home offers the highest standards of resident care and comfort, 24 hours – day and night, for long and short-term stays.

This role involves leading the catering proposition from our brand-new Bistro facility.

You will have a friendly nature and be confident in dealing with our residents, visitors and colleagues.

You will be the caring and friendly face of our Bistro, a place where people choose to go to relax and enjoy a drink/snack with their family and friends.

Basic catering knowledge and food hygiene will certainly be beneficial in this role, however for the best candidate, full training will be provided.

It's all about you as a person – warm and welcoming, self-driven and productive but above all caring – it’s what we do!
