Full Job Description

Culinary Lead – Full Time

Optimized Senior Living – Fairfield Campus
Location: Fairfield, Ohio

Cook With Purpose. Create Food That Feels Like Home.

At Optimized Senior Living, food is one of the most meaningful parts of our residents’ day. We believe meals should feel warm, comforting, and thoughtfully prepared — not institutional.

We are looking for a passionate culinary professional to lead the kitchen at our Fairfield campus and bring creativity, hospitality, and consistency to the dining experience for our residents.

If you enjoy cooking from scratch, creating beautiful plates, and building relationships with the people you cook for, this role offers something special: the chance to cook meals that truly matter.

You won’t just be feeding people — you’ll be brightening their day.

Create Exceptional Home-Style Meals

Prepare daily meals for residents.
Cook meals that feel comforting, familiar, and restaurant-quality.

Accommodate dietary needs and therapeutic diets
Keep favorite treats and snacks available
Create moments of joy through food.

Lead the Culinary Experience

You will take ownership of:

Creating menus using Grove Menus

Prep Ahead & Run an Organized Kitchen

Experience We Value

Restaurant, catering, private chef, or hospitality background
Experience with dietary needs or therapeutic diets (helpful but not required)

Most important: a passion for food and caring for people.

You’ll have:

A consistent schedule
Creative input into menus
