A bit about us
LivWell Market is hiring several creative and passionate individuals for our market location at 8 Somersworth Plaza, Somersworth NH to support our Greek-inspired food service beginnings. Are you or someone you know interested in working for a small specialty food market starting at the ground level? We are looking for individuals who don’t shy from a challenge, who intentionally explore ways to be creative, and who find enjoyment in brightening the day for others. You will be a key contributor to our growth and evolution as we build along with the Somersworth Downtown.
About this position
You’ll be cooking real food with passion, love, and real ingredients — with recipes ranging from authentic Greek dishes to unique and original fusions. Every gyro is hand-made. Every spanakopita starts from scratch. Bring your curiosity, your creativity, and your confidence. We’re building our opening kitchen team and hiring several cooks, so you’ll grow alongside others who share your drive. You will collaborate with our passionate team while we all embrace a lifelong learning and iterative design philosophy to constantly improve.
Where We're Headed
LivWell Market will first open as a fast casual Greek kitchen with a small grocery corner. That is our humble beginning — our starting point and our first impression to the community. As we grow, a beautiful bar comes to life with coffee, tea, fresh juices, and other fast, interactive service. Our grocery expands into real, thoughtful, delicious prepared meals people can grab and bring home or eat on the go. Our secondary kitchen opens its doors to partnerships and collaborations, allowing LivWell Market to become a force multiplier. Eventually, our dining room transforms into both a full service Greek fine dining experience and training grounds for people aspiring to teach or learn about food. The same space, the same heart, deepening into something more. None of this happens by accident — it happens because people who believe in real food, real personal connection, and real hospitality build it, one shift, one partnership, one vision at a time. As a Cook, the recipes and standards you help build now become the foundation our secondary kitchen and future catering business will run on.
