The Cook ensures meals are nutritious, appealing, and served on time while maintaining a clean, organized kitchen.

Coordinate meal timing to ensure smooth service

Kitchen Operations

Set up, operate, and clean kitchen equipment safely
Maintain a clean, sanitary, and organized kitchen and food storage areas
Label, date, and store food properly according to state and company standards
Assist with inventory, stock rotation, and communicating supply needs

Resident & Team Engagement

Interact with residents in a friendly, respectful manner
Support dietary aides and collaborate with the Dining Services team
Adapt meals as needed for resident preferences or special requests
Representing the community with professionalism and warmth

Compliance & Safety

Follow all food safety, sanitation, and infection control regulations
Maintain required food handler certifications
Adhere to Better Living policies and state guidelines for senior living dining
Participate in required training and continuing education

Qualifications

Previous cooking experience in senior living, healthcare, hospitality, or restaurant settings (beyond fast food)
Ability to prepare meals for groups and follow standardized recipes
Knowledge of safe food handling, sanitation and kitchen operations.
Strong time-management skills and ability to work independently
Friendly, patient, and resident-focused demeanor
Ability to lift, bend, and stand for extended periods
Must pass background checks and meet state requirements

What Success Looks Like

Residents enjoy meals that feel home-cooked, consistent, and comforting
The kitchen is clean, organized, and inspection-ready
Mealtimes run smoothly with minimal delays
The Cook is reliable, calm under pressure, and a positive presence on weekends
Knowledge of safe food handling, sanitation, and kitchen operations
