Job Description

Southminster is Charlotte's premier and award-winning retirement community dedicated to delivering compassionate care paired with excellence. Located in South Charlotte, this establishment provides a warm, inviting, and supportive environment specifically designed to enhance the lives of seniors. As a community that values respect, dignity, and quality of life, Southminster leads the way in senior living by combining top-notch healthcare services with a vibrant lifestyle for its residents. Their mission emphasizes not only superior care but also the creation of a close-knit, family-oriented atmosphere where residents feel valued and supported.

At Southminster, the culinary team plays a crucial role in enriching residents' day-to-day lives by providing delicious, nutritious, and well-prepared meals tailored to diverse dietary needs. The position of a Line Cook is integral for maintaining the high standards of the community’s dining experience. This full-time role, based in South Charlotte, offers starting pay at $17 per hour and includes benefits such as paid time off, bi-weekly pay schedules, and a supportive work environment. Employees enjoy work schedules that balance weekdays and every other weekend availability, promoting a healthy work-life balance.

The Line Cook will prepare high-quality meals efficiently, maintaining strict sanitary standards to ensure safety and satisfaction. This role requires an individual who thrives in a team-oriented setting and can perform well under pressure. Working alongside certified Executive Chefs offers opportunities for professional growth and skill enhancement. Southminster values employees who are motivated to contribute meaningfully by impacting residents' comfort, wellbeing, and independence through their culinary contributions. Additional perks include coverage of Serv-Safe Certification costs, access to an onsite fitness center, and discounts on team meals, complemented by comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, short-term, and long-term disability plans. The role encourages candidates who have prior experience in full-service restaurant environments, especially those experienced in food preparation and line cooking, with a high school diploma or equivalent as a baseline qualification. While experience in senior care or fine dining settings is desirable, it is not mandatory.

Working at Southminster means joining a community open year-round, with required availability for evenings, some weekends, and holiday shifts. This role offers a truly meaningful career path in a supportive, growth-oriented workplace committed to recognizing and rewarding dedication and the impact employees make on residents’ lives.
