Job Description

Resort Lifestyle Communities (RLC) is a fast-growing, family-owned company that operates over 60 senior living communities across the United States. Committed to delivering exceptional service and care, RLC fosters a welcoming and supportive environment for seniors, their families, and employees alike. The company prides itself on its core values of Respect, Honesty, Kindness & Compassion, and Service Excellence, which guide every aspect of its culture and operations. This close-knit, servant-hearted community is driven by a mission to create happy employees, happy residents, full occupancy, and on-budget operations. Their resorts-style settings offer beautiful and vibrant living spaces that promote a high quality of life for seniors. The company encourages a purpose-driven work environment, where every team member plays a vital role in enriching the lives of seniors and supporting their wellbeing.

The role of Temporary Cook at RLC is a crucial position focused on delivering delicious, scratch-based meals to senior residents. This role involves preparing and presenting a variety of entrees and sides for lunch and dinner, ensuring each dish meets high standards of quality, presentation, and portion control to fit resident preferences. The Temporary Cook will work within a supportive kitchen team to maintain a clean, safe, and efficient food preparation environment. Responsibilities include cooking using methods such as broiling, grilling, frying, and sautéing a diverse menu of proteins and vegetables, as well as managing food supplies, sanitation, and kitchen organization. The position demands a consistent attendance from Sunday to Thursday and flexibility to cover morning shifts as needed through at least June 2026. The cook will also build positive relationships with residents, guests, and colleagues, contributing to the warm, family-like atmosphere that defines RLC communities.

This temporary opportunity is ideal for candidates who enjoy hands-on kitchen work, value teamwork, and are motivated to create nourishing meals that bring joy to seniors. Experience in kitchen preparation and cooking is preferred, and the ability to obtain food handler permits shortly after employment is required. Being a part of RLC means joining a larger mission where your efforts have direct positive impact on the quality of life for seniors, and you are supported by leadership in a resort-style environment where employee wellbeing is prioritized. If you have a servant heart and a passion for cooking, this role offers a meaningful way to develop your skills and make a difference every day.
