Job Description
Merrill Gardens Roseville is part of the Merrill Family of Senior Living Communities, a well-established and respected name in senior care. This fifth-generation family business has been dedicated to creating supportive environments where seniors can thrive with dignity and individuality for over 30 years. Their communities are designed to provide a warm, family-oriented atmosphere that emphasizes compassionate care and meaningful connections between residents, families, and staff. Merrill Gardens is known for its commitment to employee well-being, offering stable, growing career opportunities and a comprehensive benefits package that reflects their care for their team as much as for their residents.
The Senior Living Sous Chef role at Merrill Gardens Roseville is a unique opportunity for culinary professionals passionate about serving the senior community. The Sous Chef supports the nutritional and wellness journey of residents by preparing high-quality, scratch-cooked meals in a high-volume environment. This role requires a chef who not only has strong culinary skills but also values the cultural importance of food in enhancing a senior’s quality of life. You will be stepping into a leadership position where oversight, collaboration, and excellence in food preparation are paramount. When the Executive Chef is absent, the Sous Chef takes charge of the entire kitchen operation, managing dining service team members to ensure that every meal served meets the company’s high standards.
This is a full-time position offering a competitive salary with a broad benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, and a company-paid Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Additionally, employees enjoy paid time off, holidays, a free meal every shift, 401(k) with company match, and tuition reimbursement to support professional development. Physical demands include frequent standing and walking, occasional lifting up to 50 pounds, and other activities customary in a kitchen environment, with accommodations available for individuals with disabilities.
If you are a responsible, honest, and caring individual with a passion for working with seniors and culinary expertise, this role provides a meaningful career path in a supportive, family-oriented organization committed to making a difference in people's lives every day. Apply today and join Merrill Gardens, where every life is defined by possibilities.
