We are currently seeking a full-time Sous Chef to join our dining services team during the afternoon shift, with no late-night duties required. This role is essential in maintaining the high quality of food service that residents expect and deserve. The Sous Chef will be responsible for preparing wholesome, nutritious, and visually appealing meals served at appropriate temperatures. Reporting directly to the Dining Services Director, the Sous Chef plays a vital role in ensuring food safety, proper storage practices, and adherence to state and local health regulations. The position requires a minimum of two years of cooking experience, preferably within healthcare or hospitality settings, along with Serv-Safe certification. This is an excellent opportunity for culinary professionals who are driven by empathy and excellence and who wish to contribute their skills to a respected senior living community. Full-time employment at Rivertown Ridge includes attractive benefits such as paid time off (PTO) and holiday pay, daily pay options, health and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan with employer match, company-paid life insurance, short and long-term disability coverage, referral bonuses, tuition reimbursement, and an employee assistance program. These benefits demonstrate the company’s commitment to supporting their team both professionally and personally. The Sous Chef will not only prepare and serve food but also assume responsibility for kitchen operations in the absence of senior kitchen leadership, including ordering supplies, menu writing, and staff scheduling. This role requires excellent interpersonal skills, a neat professional appearance, and the ability to foster a pleasant, effective work environment. The position also includes some duties beyond meal preparation, such as supporting resident-centered activities and participating in associate meetings and projects, helping to build a holistic community experience. Joining Rivertown Ridge gives culinary professionals a chance to impact positively the well-being of seniors while advancing their culinary career within a stable and caring organization.
