A CARE group is expanding its catering team.

Czajka has promoted Hazel Betts and Stuart Bailey to deputy catering supervisors.

They have worked as mobile chefs across the company’s nursing homes, which include Currergate at Steeton and Beanlands, Cross Hills.

In their new roles, they will support the management team overseeing the day-to-day running of six kitchens and help with menu development and the sourcing of ingredients.

Following their promotion, the group is now seeking to add two new chefs to its 22-strong team.

Czajka’s area catering supervisor, Gerard Raedcher, said: “Because mealtimes are such an integral part of the overall service that we provide, our catering provision has evolved into a vast operation.”
