Why This Role Stands Out

Join our dedicated team in Woodmere, where caring meets culinary! Take pride in preparing meals that nourish the body and uplift the spirit of our residents. This role offers not just a rewarding day-to-day experience—but the chance to thrive within a warm, respectful, and purpose-driven environment.

• Prepare, cook, and season meals according to daily menus, including therapeutic or special diets as needed
• Execute proper food handling, storage, temperature checks, and sanitation protocols compliant with health department standards

• Assist in preparing meals for bed-bound residents or those with specific dietary instructions
• Collaborate closely with dietary staff and healthcare professionals to help meet residents' nutritional needs
• Support inventory control and food ordering as needed to maintain adequate supplies
• Occasionally contribute to cooking for special events or make creative meal tweaks to brighten residents’ day

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or GED (or equivalent) is required
• Prior experience in institutional, nursing home, or assisted living cooking environments is a plus—demonstrating ability in large-quantity meal prep, special diets, and sanitation protocols
• Familiarity with health and food safety regulations
• Strong attention to cleanliness, food quality, and detail.
• Dependable with excellent time management—especially for adhering to the 10a-6p WEEKENDS ONLY
• Team-oriented, compassionate, and patient-focused—keen to enrich residents’ mealtimes.

Benefits

What’s in It for You

• $23 hourly, paid weekly—enjoy fast, consistent earnings.
• Benefits package includes sick pay, and direct deposit, and more.
• A supportive environment where your cooking makes a real difference—feeding both body and soul.
• Meaningful work in a community-driven culture.
• Opportunities for growth and collaboration with caring, interdisciplinary teams.
