Job Description

Resort Lifestyle Communities (RLC) is a fast-growing, family-owned company operating more than 60 senior living communities across the United States. Known for its commitment to providing excellent care and vibrant lifestyles, RLC specializes in creating beautiful, resort-style environments where seniors can enjoy high-quality living supported by compassionate and dedicated staff. The company’s core values of respect, honesty, kindness, compassion, and service excellence steer every aspect of its operations, fostering a community where employees and residents thrive alike. RLC's focus on employee and resident happiness, maintaining full occupancy, and operating within budget ensures a sustainable and rewarding workplace.

The role of PM Cook at RLC is central to delivering exceptional culinary experiences within their scratch-based kitchens. This position involves preparing and presenting dinner and lunch meals composed of high-quality, visually appealing, and well-portioned entrées and side dishes tailored to resident preferences. Beyond cooking, the PM Cook helps cultivate a warm, welcoming, and inclusive dining atmosphere by building positive relationships with residents, guests, and fellow team members. This role demands a balance of culinary skills, attention to detail, time management, and a servant-hearted approach to service. It is a wonderful opportunity for individuals passionate about cooking and committed to serving seniors in a meaningful and impactful way.

The PM Cook typically works a consistent schedule from Thursday through Monday, covering shifts from before lunch into the dinner hours, with flexibility to work morning shifts as needed. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, be able to understand and communicate effectively in basic English, and have some experience or willingness to learn kitchen preparation and cooking. Additionally, securing the appropriate food handler permits within two weeks of employment is required. This not only ensures compliance with local health and safety regulations but also reinforces RLC’s commitment to providing safe dining experiences.

This position is designed for individuals who thrive in collaborative team environments and enjoy contributing ideas for continuous improvement in meal service. The PM Cook takes responsibility for opening and closing kitchen tasks, maintaining clean, orderly, and safe workstations, and carefully monitoring food, refrigeration, and equipment temperatures. By doing so, you contribute to operational excellence that directly supports resident satisfaction and elevates the overall dining experience.

RLC offers full-time employees competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package including flexible stipend options to customize health, dental, vision, life insurance, disability benefits, and more. Employees enjoy paid time off, access to their pay anytime, and a 401(k) plan with employer match, all within a supportive leadership structure that values servant leadership and purpose-driven roles. Joining RLC means becoming part of a mission-focused family that values your contributions and supports your growth as you make a meaningful difference every day.
