Lucy P Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I am in the position of having to replace the nursery cook. She has been at the nursery for ever and everything she did was right (although i am not quite sure what she did ) Does anyone have any examples of job descriptions / person specifications? Does the cook need to be qualified? Any help on this matter will help, i am due to send out application forms tomorrow morning to prospective employees, but need some literature to accompany them. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Not knowing the situation, could your Nursery Cook who is leaving help by giving you her interpretation of what the job requires? I don't know about qualification but I would think he/she should have Basic Food Hygiene at least. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy P Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Unfortunatley our cook's husband passed away suddenly and she has returned to her home country. So after her running the kitchen for quite some time i am still discovering new things each day which need to be dealt with. I am worried about either asking too much or too little from any future cooks. Personally, i would much prefer the cook to hold a qualification but after no response to adverts in the last month i changed the wording to say 'although a qualification is preferable, enthusiasm for home cooking would be acceptable'. I can't find anything within the standards stating the cook needs to be qualified - or even that we have to have a cook - but obviously am aware it is good practice for them to hold some recognisable qualification.

Guest Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Sorry to hear about your cooks loss and yours Are there any other local settings who have cooks, maybe they could offer a copy of their job descriptions as a starting point. As long as you promise not to offer their cooks higher wages Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
