Lead Cook

Overview

Love cooking, but tired of restaurant hours that keep you at work until 10pm, 11pm, or even midnight?

We’re passionate about investing in our team’s growth and well-being. From tuition reimbursement and scholarships to professional development, university partnerships, referral and discount programs, appreciation events, wellness initiatives, and more, we’re proud to offer meaningful opportunities that support every step of your journey.

Westminster Village is currently seeking qualified candidates for our Lead Cook position.

Our campus features distinct dining venues, including a bistro, pub, deli, and table-service restaurants. Each offers its own atmosphere and menu, with food prepared to order much like you would experience in a traditional restaurant. Depending on the assignment, you may work in one of these restaurant environments, preparing made-to-order meals and helping create an enjoyable dining experience for residents and their guests. This is an opportunity to continue doing the restaurant work you enjoy without the late-night closing schedule.

Why cooks choose senior living:

• No late-night closings
• A more predictable schedule
• Distinct restaurant environments with made-to-order cooking
• The opportunity to build relationships with the people you cook for
• A team culture centered on service, respect, and hospitality
• Work where your food, consistency, and relationships matter

If you have restaurant, hospitality, or high-volume cooking experience and want to keep working in a true restaurant-style environment with a better quality-of-life schedule, we would like to talk with you!

As part of our onboarding experience, you'll advance your culinary career through our partnership with Rouxbe Online Culinary School. This seamless introduction includes a series of comprehensive courses that provide 9 transferable college credit hours upon completion, setting you up for long term success from day one!
