Job Description
Legend Senior Living is a distinguished family-owned senior living company with over 30 years of experience in delivering exceptional care and service to its residents. Known for its strong commitment to quality and innovation, Legend Senior Living continues to expand, with multiple properties added each year. The company has earned prestigious recognitions including being certified as a Great Place To Work for seven consecutive years, receiving the Best of Senior Living Award, and winning accolades for innovative programming in senior living. The organization prides itself on creating an elegant community environment that maximizes the potential and well-being of every life it touches. This commitment is reflected not only in their holistic wellness approach and vibrant life enrichment activities but also in their renowned Gold Leaf Dining standards which emphasize a high standard for atmosphere and food quality.
The role of the Sous Chef at Legend Senior Living plays an integral part in maintaining this standard of excellence in their culinary operations. As a Sous Chef, you will work closely alongside the Chef to oversee daily kitchen activities, focusing on menu planning, food preparation, inventory management, documentation, and staff scheduling.

One of the unique benefits of this role includes a work schedule that avoids late-night hours due to the early dining preferences of the residents, offering a fulfilling balance between culinary creativity and personal life.
The Sous Chef will be responsible for leading the kitchen environment in the absence of the Chef, preparing food according to the established menu while noting any necessary changes. The position demands a proactive approach to maintaining cleanliness, organization, and safety throughout all kitchen areas including cooking, serving, and storage stations. The culinary team at Legend Senior Living is driven by a passion to deliver an unparalleled dining experience, ensuring residents enjoy nutritious, high-quality meals in an inviting setting.
This role provides excellent opportunities for career advancement and personal growth within a supportive and rewarding work environment. Associates benefit from ongoing performance evaluations with raises, scholarship programs, and discretionary bonuses including employee referral rewards and recognitions such as Employee of the Month or Year. Legend Senior Living fosters an associate-centric culture offering support through work friend trainers, employee assistance programs, paid-time-off donations, continuing education opportunities, and family member discounts. This makes it a truly inspiring workplace where your culinary talents contribute directly to enriching the lives of seniors each day.
