Job summary

We are looking for a new Team member to join us in the catering department.

Each day will be different and allow you to demonstrate your passion and skills. We all work to provide the best service to our patients and you will be a key part of the team.

Main duties of the job

Basic food prep making fresh salads and sandwiches and delivering the hot food service. Compliance to the necessary legislation and adhering to policies and procedures is key to the role. Picking and packing orders will require attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.

In 2020 the Care Quality Commission rated us as 'Good' overall, and 'Outstanding' for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated 'Outstanding'. Eastbourne DGH rated 'Good'.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious 'Building for our Future' programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.
