Job Description
Assumption Village is a faith-based Assisted Living facility located in Portland, dedicated to providing high-quality residential care for seniors. This community-centered organization values compassion, professionalism, and excellence in every aspect of senior care, including the vital role of diet and nutrition in maintaining residents' health and wellbeing. As a recognized leader in assisted living, Assumption Village combines a nurturing environment with modern care standards to create a warm, supportive space for its residents. The facility not only prioritizes the physical health of its community members but also fosters a culture of respect and dignity, making it a sought-after senior living option in the Portland area.
The Lead Chef/Dietary Supervisor position at Assumption Village is a key leadership role that combines culinary expertise with supervisory responsibilities. This full-time role offers an annual salary commensurate with experience and provides the opportunity to be part of a compassionate team focused on delivering nutritious, delicious meals tailored to the dietary needs of senior residents. The ideal candidate will be both an accomplished chef and an effective manager, responsible for menu planning, food preparation, personnel management, and supply ordering to ensure a seamless kitchen operation.
This position demands a hands-on approach where the Lead Chef actively participates in meal preparation, menu development, and oversees every stage of service and cleanup. Equally important is the supervisory component, which includes hiring, training, scheduling, and evaluating dietary staff to maintain a high operational standard. The Lead Chef/Dietary Supervisor is also tasked with maintaining inventory and managing vendor relationships, ensuring supplies align with menu requirements and resident dietary needs.
Health and safety compliance is paramount in this role, with the supervisor ensuring all operations meet stringent health, safety, and sanitation regulations. The role ideally suits candidates with proven culinary skills, strong organizational capabilities, and management experience, complemented by effective communication skills. Bilingual proficiency in Spanish and English is preferred, accommodating the diverse staff and resident community. Assumption Village offers a dynamic, rewarding work environment that supports professional growth while making a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacation and holidays, and additional perks for bilingual employees, underscoring the organization's commitment to its team members' wellbeing and satisfaction.
