Job Description

Touchmark is a premier full-service retirement community based in the West Hills of Portland, known for its commitment to enriching the lives of residents and their families through exceptional services and elevated dining experiences. The establishment prides itself on a mission characterized by the ETHIC principles — Excellence, Teamwork, Hospitality, Integrity, and Compassion — which guide every interaction and task, from personal caregiving to community maintenance. Touchmark fosters a unique environment that values both the residents and the team members, aiming to create a workplace culture where creativity, professionalism, and a balanced lifestyle go hand in hand.

The role encourages creativity, relationship-building, and education around healthy dining choices. Working at Touchmark allows culinary professionals to be part of a supportive organization that values integrity, teamwork, and compassion in culinary excellence, offering excellent benefits, including health and fitness amenities, community bonuses, and on-demand pay.
