Are you an experienced Chef with a flair for creating delicious, nutritious menus? Join us as our new Catering Manager at Leger Grove care home in Doncaster!

As Catering Manager, you'll lead our Catering Team in providing healthy and inviting meals for the people we support.

Leger Grove care home is set to open in 2025, offering you a unique opportunity to be part of a brand-new team in a state-of-the-art, purpose-built home. This is your chance to truly make an impact!

About Exemplar Health Care

Leger Grove is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country's leading nursing care providers. When open, Leger Grove will support adults living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health needs, dementia, and physical disabilities.

Although the home is set to open in April 2025, you'll begin a tailored induction one month prior. This will give you the opportunity to learn about the company, meet your colleagues, and complete your training, so you're fully prepared when the home officially opens.

In the meantime, we'll stay in touch via email or WhatsApp, sharing regular updates on the progress of your new workplace.
