About the Role
Are you looking for a career where you can make a difference to the lives of others?
Joining Norse Group will provide you with a fulfilling role, becoming part of a team that supplies locally sourced, nutritious, and healthy meals to residents within our Care Homes. We offer fully funded accredited courses, excellent career progression, and job satisfaction from giving back to your community and improving people’s lives.

You will become an integral part of our resident’s home through daily interaction, not just at mealtimes but throughout your working day. Our aim is to ensure the wonderful world of food is available to all, including those with eating, drinking, and swallowing difficulties. The social aspect of dining and the nutritious content of meals is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of residents in our care settings.
Your role will involve:
- Preparing and cooking food
- Supervising the onsite catering team
- Ensuring the delivery of the catering service in the absence of the Cook Manager
The onsite care team will provide you with essential requirements of residents using a detailed catering handover sheet to ensure a collaborative approach to person-centred care.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our central team will support you in managing food safety, health and safety, and food allergens, whilst our dedicated menu, promotions, and compliance teams will provide you with menu cycles, nutritional information, IDDSI menus, and promotional posters, giving you time to focus on food.
Our electronic tablet will provide you with access to our kitchen management system and act as a communication tool providing you with regular updates and keeping paperwork to a minimum.
What are we looking for from you?
You will have previous experience working in a busy kitchen environment with an organised approach, alongside a good understanding of the food industry, ideally with knowledge of textured modified diets (IDDSI) and working to a set budget.
A passion for delivering fantastic customer service is essential, and we will be looking for you to demonstrate strong communication skills with an adaptable approach to work.
Alongside this, we are looking for people who are passionate about supporting others and who share our core values:
- We care completely.
- We collaborate proactively.
- We act with integrity.
- We pursue better.
- We make it happen.
