How do my past carers help me?

As my whole working life I have been in the hospitality industry I have gained skills to help me down multiple carer paths

These jobs have given me opportunities to communicate with customers whether that being with how their days have been or how I and the team around me can cater to their needs

Being a chef has made me take on multiple responsibilities over the years, these responsibilities range from;

  • Creating preparation lists for my self and other chefs
  • Keeping up to date with our stock and phoning through orders with our suppliers when needed
  • Following EHO hygiene standards
  • Maintaining happy customer relationships and adapting to their needs as quick and efficient as possible
