Make a lasting difference, long after your shift
We’re excited to welcome a Bank General Assistant Catering to support the preparation and serving of nutritious, well-presented meals at our Poplar House Retirement Community in Rectory Road, Basildon, Essex, SS13 1FG, without the long hours or split shifts often found in hospitality.

You’ll be part of a compassionate, community-focused team supporting our retirement community residents, that puts people first – every single day. #BeYourBest is more than a hashtag – it’s our commitment to helping our people grow, thrive, and feel valued. We’ll support you with the tools, training, and encouragement to reach your full potential, while celebrating your individuality and the difference you make every day.
