Job Description

The Terraces of Boise, located in Boise, Idaho, is a distinguished HumanGood community nationally recognized as a 2025-2026 Best Senior Living community by U.S. News & World Report. This accolade recognizes excellence in Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, highlighting the community's dedication to quality care and resident satisfaction. Rated as one of the top senior living providers, The Terraces offers not only premier living accommodations but also an uncompromising commitment to enhancing the lives of older adults through comprehensive services and compassionate support. As part of HumanGood, a leading organization in senior living, the community showcases a mission to empower residents and foster vibrant, engaging environments suited to diverse needs and preferences.

As a member of The Terraces of Boise dining team, the role of Wait Staff is integral to the daily operations that contribute to resident comfort and satisfaction. This is a part-time position, scheduled from 4 PM to 7:30 PM with rotating days and mandatory weekend availability. Compensation for this role ranges from $15 to $18 per hour, dependent upon the candidate's experience. The Wait Staff's responsibilities extend beyond basic food service duties; they play a critical role in creating a welcoming dining experience for residents by providing attentive and courteous service. Primary duties include setting up and working on the trayline, serving food efficiently and cheerfully, washing dishes and utensils, bussing tables to maintain cleanliness, preparing salads, desserts, and garnishes, and ensuring the overall cleanliness of dining and food service areas.

This role demands a strong customer service orientation with the ability to anticipate and respond to the unique needs of senior residents. Wait Staff members greet residents and guests promptly, inform them about daily specials, assist with meal service including refilling beverages, and accommodate special requests to enhance each dining occasion. The role requires flexibility and reliability, with evening, weekend, and holiday shifts necessary to support operational needs. Ideal candidates will have prior experience in customer service or food service environments and preferably some background working with seniors. Certifications such as Food Handler’s or ServSafe are advantageous but not mandatory. Teens interested in applying are welcomed, subject to local regulations.

At HumanGood, employees are valued as part of a mission-driven team that reimagines senior living and prioritizes meaningful impacts on residents’ lives. As a Wait Staff member, you will be supported with competitive compensation packages that maximize well-being and financial security, including comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans starting the month after employment begins, generous paid time off, employer-matched 401(k) plans, and tuition reimbursement programs for continuing education. Additional perks such as a cell phone stipend and employee assistance programs enhance this supportive work environment.

Joining the dining team at The Terraces of Boise offers more than just a job; it is an opportunity to be part of a caring community dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors. Career growth, leadership development, and personal enrichment are encouraged as part of the HumanGood culture. This role is based on-site in Boise, Idaho, offering a stable workplace with the chance to make a positive difference daily.
