Full Job Description

Schedule: Full-Time | 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM

We are a residential detox and treatment organization seeking an experienced Cook to prepare fresh, healthy meals for approximately 12–18 clients daily.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with catering, meal-prep, institutional kitchen, residential treatment, senior living, or similar high-volume cooking experience. We are looking for someone who can independently plan, prepare, and execute breakfast, lunch, and dinner while maintaining excellent food quality, cleanliness, and organization.

Responsibilities

Prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for approximately 12–18 clients each day
Prepare meals in batches for service across our residential facilities
Follow established menus while maintaining variety, quality, and presentation
Prepare healthy, balanced meals using fresh ingredients
Accommodate reasonable dietary restrictions and food allergies
Portion and package meals appropriately for delivery to additional facilities when needed
Maintain proper food temperatures during preparation, storage, and transportation
Monitor food inventory and communicate grocery and supply needs
Minimize food waste and properly rotate inventory
Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary kitchen
Follow all food safety, sanitation, and proper food-handling requirements
Ensure meals are prepared on schedule each day

Qualifications

Previous professional cooking experience required
Catering, banquet, meal-prep, institutional, healthcare, residential treatment, or high-volume cooking experience strongly preferred
Comfortable independently preparing meals for 12–18+ people
Strong understanding of food preparation, portioning, timing, and kitchen organization
Experience preparing healthy, balanced meals
Knowledge of proper food handling and sanitation procedures
Ability to manage multiple dishes and meal periods efficiently
Dependable, punctual, organized, and able to work independently
Ability to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor in a residential treatment environment
Food Handler Certification required or ability to obtain upon hire

What We're Looking For

We are not looking for someone who only has experience working a single station in a restaurant. The ideal candidate has experience with catering or preparing complete meals for groups and understands how to efficiently prepare multiple dishes, proteins, sides, vegetables, and meals in volume.

We want someone who takes pride in food quality and can consistently provide our clients with meals that are healthy, fresh, well-prepared, and enjoyable.

Schedule: 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Compensation: $24.00–$27.00 per hour, based on experience

Pay: $24.00 - $27.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40.0 per week

Benefits:

Health insurance

Work Location: In person
