Cooking in healthcare Flavor Chef | Hellevoetsluis De Eik

Do you love cooking AND working with people? As a Flavor Chef (cook in healthcare), you don't just provide a delicious meal, but also valuable moments for residents. You bring flavor, conviviality, and personal attention together in the kitchen.

In this role, it is about more than just cooking. You are in the midst of the residents' daily lives: chopping vegetables together, having a chat at the kitchen table, and enjoying a freshly prepared meal. In this way, you contribute every day to a warm, homely atmosphere.

• Preparing fresh and healthy meals for residents;
• Involving residents in the cooking and deciding on the weekly menu together;
• Working according to HACCP guidelines and hygiene requirements;
• Ensuring a convivial and homely atmosphere in the kitchen;
• Maintaining basic administration in a digital environment;
• Collaborating with healthcare colleagues to contribute to the well-being of residents.

You start around 2:00 PM in the kitchen. You check the fresh ingredients, prepare the meal, and involve residents who like to help out or join in for a chat.

Around 5:00 PM, you serve dinner and see the direct result of your work: satisfied residents and a pleasant atmosphere at the table. Afterwards, you close down the kitchen neatly and around 6:00 PM your workday is finished.

• You do not need to be a professional chef, but you do have experience cooking for larger groups;
• Knowledge of HACCP and hygiene rules;
• Affinity with healthcare or with people with a disability;
• Warmth, patience, and social skills;
• Basic computer skills;
• Flexible availability (also occasionally on weekends);
• Enthusiasm to truly make a difference for others;

Before you start as a Flavor Chef, we will request a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) from the municipality together. Without a VOG, you cannot start.

• A gross hourly wage between €14.99 and €15.68, depending on your knowledge and experience;
• Work 12 to 16 hours per week on flexible afternoons between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, by arrangement with the location;
• 25 vacation days, 8% holiday allowance, and a good pension scheme;
• Travel allowance of €0.23 per kilometer from 10 km;
• Working in an organization where attention, trust, and fun are central thanks to our Hai-Five culture;
• Plenty of opportunities to develop yourself via the Hai Academy, with training and courses;
• Attractive extras such as staff discounts, fun outings, and various benefits for Hai colleagues.
• Are you bringing a new colleague into Hai? Up to a €250.- bonus for you! €50 if your candidate is hired, €200 when they also pass the probationary period!

"The best part of my job is that I can make a difference for the residents every day. Cooking together, having a chat at the kitchen table, and seeing how everyone enjoys the meal gives me energy. It is not just cooking; it is caring with attention and pleasure. Every day is different, and that makes the work incredibly fun and valuable." - Kees, Flavor Chef
