# Advantages of working as a Chef in Care Homes & Schools

The Chefs who work the most hours for The Chef Tree Agency are the ones who have a DBS (Digital and Barring Service) and are working in schools, care homes and other establishments where there may be vulnerable people.

So, what are the benefits of working in a care home or school kitchen?

- Care homes are open 365 days per year, which means that Chefs are regularly in demand throughout the year. You could potentially be working 5-6 days per week, even when the rest of the industry gets quiet.
- The working hours for Chefs in schools and care homes are often Monday to Friday, 7am until 3pm- which means that you will be able to have evenings & weekends free, very rare for Chefs!

Sound good? Give us a call in the office on 071 8604 611 if you want to get a DBS and work at a school or care home.
