The Fremont Senior Living, one of Arrow Senior Living’s premier locations situated at 1520 E. Bates St., Springfield, Missouri, is currently seeking passionate individuals to join their culinary team as Weekend Warrior Cooks. This full-time position offers a competitive starting wage of $20.00 to $21.00 per hour and provides an excellent opportunity for motivated culinary professionals seeking to make a meaningful impact in a senior living community.

The Weekend Warrior Cook role is far more than just a cooking job; it is a chance to become a Culinary Craftsman—preparing all menu items according to established standards and recipes to ensure delicious and attractively presented meals served timely for the residents. The role is hands-on and encompasses various responsibilities such as maintaining health protocols and hygiene standards, ensuring food safety and proper temperatures, and being conscious of residents’ preferences and dietary needs. As a Culinary Connector, the cook will engage with the residents, making meal times a comforting and personalized experience.

The position’s schedule includes shifts on Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., giving candidates an ideal balance between work and personal time. This role demands physical activity—standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and lifting items weighing up to 50 pounds—making it perfect for those who enjoy an active workplace. Candidates must also be comfortable working in environments with extreme temperatures, such as near cooking surfaces and walk-in freezers.

Arrow Senior Living values compliance and safety, requiring all candidates to hold a current Food Handlers Card and to be criminally cleared. Adept communication skills and leadership qualities are essential to work effectively with management and fellow staff, while delivering excellent resident experiences. The company fosters a positive work culture where employees recognize each other’s contributions through weekly recognition programs and are rewarded through comprehensive benefits.

In addition to competitive wages, full-time team members enjoy a robust benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance. There is also a company-match 401(k) program with a 100% match up to the first 3% contributed, which is fully vested upon enrollment, reflecting the company’s commitment to long-term employee financial wellness. Other benefits include tuition reimbursement, a referral program, paid time off, life insurance, employee assistance programs, and complimentary meals during shifts, all designed to support both professional and personal growth.
