A Chef’s Journey From The Corporate World To A Caring Home As part of National Careers week, we’re sharing stories from our team about their journey at Caring Homes. Graham Hogg explains how he came to join us, and why his role as Sous Chef at The Manor is the perfect fit. Being A Chef Felt Right For Me “I was born and raised in Edinburgh and like many kids, sport was more important to me than school when I was growing up! I enjoyed the physical challenge and the camaraderie of rugby, then I became interested in judo and loved it – I even ended up representing the UK when I was 17. Alongside sport, I looked for a job that suited my skillset. I’ve always been a hard worker and really get stuck into things I’m passionate about, so when I found a part-time role in a kitchen while still at school, it felt right for me. I left school at 16 and worked full time in kitchens, learning my trade as a chef. It was typically hard graft, but I was young and keen to earn my stripes. By the time I was 26 I’d been appointed Sous Chef for the Principal Hayley Group in their beautiful hotel, The George, in Edinburgh. Although I worked in the main restaurant and covered all sections in the kitchen, my main responsibility was running the banqueting kitchen. Weddings and large events were my day-to-day focus, which meant long hours planning and delivering menus for special occasions which had to be perfectly executed!.....
We are delighted to announce that the Caring Homes Group has joined Hospitality and Universities United (HUU), with our Group Hospitality Manager, Ben Frizell, selected to become one of the organisation’s specialist ambassadors. As we mark National Careers Week, Catherine Martin, Head of Talent & Development, feels that this is an opportunity to change the perception of working in hospitality within the care sector: “Generally speaking, preconceptions about working in the care industry mean that it’s rarely on the radar when compared with the relative credibility and desirability of hotels, restaurants, bars and pubs around the UK. Anyone seeking a future in hospitality has a huge range of options to choose from, and the lack of mainstream information about hospitality within the care sector makes it far less visible as a career option. Working with HUU to bring the positives to light and show that we offer both variety and defined career paths, will really help.”....
