Full Job Description

Job Overview

We are seeking a compassionate, dependable, and skilled Cook to join our Assisted Living Facility culinary team. In this essential role, you will be responsible for preparing nutritious, home-style meals that meet the dietary needs, preferences, and safety requirements of our residents. Your work directly supports resident health, satisfaction, and quality of life.

This position plays a vital role in maintaining a clean, safe, and compliant dietary operation, ensuring all meals are prepared according to established menus, therapeutic diet requirements, and Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) regulations. This is a paid position offering a meaningful opportunity to serve others while showcasing your culinary skills in a healthcare setting.

Duties

Prepare and cook meals according to approved menus, standardized recipes, and portion sizes appropriate for an assisted living population.
Follow all therapeutic diet requirements as ordered (e.g., diabetic, low sodium, mechanical soft, pureed, or texture-modified diets).
Assist with food preparation tasks including chopping, slicing, cooking, baking, and assembling meals while maintaining consistency and quality.
Ensure meals are served at appropriate temperatures and within designated meal service times.
Maintain strict adherence to food safety, sanitation, and infection control standards in accordance with VDSS, local health department, and facility policies.
Properly store, label, date, and rotate food items to prevent spoilage, contamination, and waste.
Maintain cleanliness and organization of the kitchen, equipment, refrigerators, freezers, and food storage areas.
Assist with special meals, holiday menus, resident events, and large-batch food preparation as needed.
Communicate effectively with dietary staff, nursing staff, and administration regarding resident food preferences, diet changes, and meal concerns.
Report equipment issues, food shortages, or safety concerns promptly to the supervisor.
Support compliance during health department inspections and state surveys by maintaining accurate practices and documentation.

Qualifications

Previous experience as a cook, dietary aide, or food service worker, preferably in an assisted living, nursing home, or healthcare environment.
Knowledge of basic cooking techniques, safe food handling practices, and large-batch meal preparation.
Familiarity with therapeutic diets and special dietary needs is strongly preferred.
Understanding of food safety standards, including sanitation, temperature control, cross-contamination prevention, and proper storage.
Ability to follow written menus, recipes, and dietary instructions accurately.
Strong teamwork skills and the ability to work efficiently in a structured, resident-focused environment.
Ability to stand for extended periods and perform physical tasks associated with kitchen duties.
Prior experience in healthcare dietary services or institutional cooking is considered an asset.
