Now Hiring: Full Time Cook

We are looking for a cook to join our team.

This is a unique position and probably not what you would imagine when you think of a seniors home kitchen. The best fit is someone who enjoys caring for people through food — someone who can adapt to a wide range of requests without taking it personally, understanding that these meals can carry a lot of meaning, and sometimes may be among a person’s last.

The food we make is simple, comforting, and meant to feel familiar and enjoyable — soups, sandwiches, baking, snacks, and entrees. We are looking for someone who shares our values of care, home, family, community, reliability, thoughtfulness, creativity, curiosity, flexibility, and patience.

About the Position

Our cooks work a 16-day rotation, and this role is built around 4 scheduled shifts within that rotation (Days 5, 6, 8, and 11), with an expectation to support additional coverage for holidays and occasional sick calls as needed. These shifts cover weekends and holidays.

Shifts include a mix of:

• 6:30am–4:30pm

• 8:30am–6:30pm

• 9:00am–7:00pm

Our Kitchen & Approach

Funding for health care is below what it should be, and we work hard to do more with less. We are thoughtful about reducing waste and using resources wisely, while still maintaining quality, flexibility, and choice.

Rigidity does not fit our person-centered care model. We adapt, we problem-solve, and we do what we can to make things work for the people who live here.

We are looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoys feeding people — someone who takes pride in their work and values being part of a strong, supportive team.

Qualifications

Applicants must have Food Safe certification prior to their start date.

You do not need to be a formally trained or papered chef, but you do need to know how to cook.

We are looking for someone with good instincts, and the ability to prepare simple, comforting food well. Someone who understands timing, prep, multitasking, and how to keep things moving in a busy kitchen. A caring individual that values team work.

You must be reliable, flexible, trustworthy and thoughtful, our core organizational values.
