Maintaining cleanliness and sanitation of kitchen equipment and work areas is a critical part of the job to meet health standards.

The ideal candidate for this position will demonstrate a strong capacity to follow menus and recipes precisely to ensure consistency and quality of meals served. They will also be skilled in portion control and will ensure that meals are accurately prepared and served on time according to dietary plans specific to our residents’ needs. The Dietary Cook will work closely with other kitchen and care team members, adapting easily to changing kitchen tasks and stepping into leadership roles when necessary.

This is a full-time position offering a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance options including whole and term policies; additional protections such as accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), short-term disability, and critical illness coverage; tuition reimbursement that supports professional growth; paid time off to ensure our staff can rest and recharge; immediate eligibility for our 401(k) retirement plan; and exceptional corporate support and leadership resources.

We strive to uphold an equal opportunity employment environment where diversity is embraced, and discrimination or harassment of any kind is prohibited under federal, state, and local laws. This commitment ensures all team members are respected and valued as individuals. If you have a passion for preparing meals that contribute to the well-being of others and desire to be part of a supportive, growth-oriented organization, we encourage you to apply for the Dietary Cook role. Join us and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
