We have an exciting new opportunity to join our caring and supportive team at April Court as a Host.

Located in Bournemouth, April Court is a residential care home for adults with learning disabilities, where our friendly and committed team is passionate about supporting people to maintain their individuality, independence and choice.

As a Host, you’ll play an important role in supporting the nutrition, hydration and wellbeing of the people we support. Working closely with our care team, you’ll help make mealtimes safe, enjoyable and sociable – encouraging independence, choice and social interaction while ensuring individual dietary needs and preferences are understood and respected.

This is a rewarding role where the little things can make a real difference. Whether it’s knowing someone’s favourite meal, offering a friendly welcome or helping someone feel more confident and independent at mealtimes, you’ll help create a positive experience every day.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Creating a positive mealtime experience by supporting people to enjoy safe, welcoming and sociable mealtimes, including reheating, plating, serving and clearing meals.
  • Encouraging independence and choice while supporting people with their individual needs and preferences.
  • Operating catering equipment safely and in line with manufacturer guidelines.
  • Supporting visitors to access available meals and, where appropriate, giving them the opportunity to eat with their loved ones.
  • Providing catering-related support in line with individual support plans, risk assessments and SALT guidelines.
  • Getting to know the people we support and building positive relationships to understand their preferences and dietary needs.
  • Maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming dining environment for the people we support, visitors and colleagues.
  • Supporting safe and compliant catering practices across the service.
  • Following catering regulations and legislation, including HACCP and allergy awareness.
  • Working confidently within agreed guidelines, both independently and as part of our wider team.
  • Being part of a welcoming and inclusive team that promotes dignity, independence and wellbeing.

What we’re looking for:

  • A caring, respectful and person-centred approach, with a genuine desire to make a positive difference.
  • The ability to follow care and support plans and risk assessments.
  • Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • The ability to work independently as well as being a supportive member of the wider team.
  • Food Safety Qualification – Level 2.
  • A flexible approach to working hours, shift patterns and tasks.
  • An understanding of the CQC Fundamental Standards and the Care Act 2014.

Your hours will generally be worked around our lunchtime service, with some flexibility around start and finish times – typically 10:30am–2:30pm or 11:00am–3:00pm, depending on the needs of the service.

 

Who we are:

We provide high quality care and support to older people; people with physical and learning disabilities; people with mental health needs; dementia; carers and clients’ families. This extends to respite care for families and carers.

We operate services across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, ranging from Residential Homes, Day Services, Supported Living sites and Reablement Home Care.
