Legacy Village of Salt River / Scottsdale, AZ — Senior Living Cook (Full-Time)

Legacy Village of Salt River is seeking an experienced individual to join our kitchen team as a full-time Senior Living Cook.

We are an assisted living facility that appreciates and values our team. We pay our Cooks a competitive wage, starting at $22+/hour based on experience. Our team also enjoys great benefits, including flexible schedules, a great work environment, and amazing discounts to the hotels we manage. Plus, we make it easy to apply with our initial quick mobile-optimized application. If we have your attention, please continue reading!

Following a "+personal touch" philosophy, we take the time to get to know our guests and residents and always look for ways to provide care beyond what is expected. We are guided by six core values:
Be Loving. Choose Wisely. Perform Together. Act Boldly. Express Gratitude. Mind the Store.

We believe that the more independent our assisted living residents are, the happier and healthier they feel. There is a genuine sense of family with the residents and co-workers at Legacy Village Salt River. We entrust only the most qualified, dependable, dedicated, and trustworthy individuals with the care of our residents. If you're looking to work with a supportive, dynamic team, look no further!

Ask yourself:
Is your attention to detail exceptional? Are you friendly and outgoing with great customer service instincts? Can you work independently as well as with a team? Do you take pride in providing fresh, scratch-cooked meals? We are a full-service scratch cooking kitchen - no box to plate here! Our meals are cooked to order, so our cooks must be able to work the line, run a broiler, grill steaks, and sear fresh salmon.

Legacy Village Salt River delivers restaurant-style dining, with two different dining options, as well as Bistro. As one of our Cooks, you prepare meals for our residents. Dining is an important part of the social fabric here; we cook to order, providing an enjoyable, personalized experience. Careful attention to dietary needs, and understanding that we monitor quality for taste, smell, appearance, and temperature, is crucial.

Seeing the residents enjoy their food makes you feel good!

As a member of our team, you keep the kitchen clean and follow food sanitation standards to the letter. Each day, you determine the required amounts of supplies and food needed and make sure the kitchen is fully stocked and ready for service. The facility follows state guidelines, requiring direction from the Culinary Director on portions for prep, inventory and menu item preparation.

• One year or more of experience as a cook, preferably in a healthcare setting
• Scratch cooking, short order line cooking, and baking experience a plus!
• Current food handler's permit, Serv Safe certification preferred
• Level 1 Fingerprint clearance card, or the ability to obtain one
• Current CPR/First Aid certification

If you can meet these requirements, we'd love to have you be part of our kitchen team!
