Full-Time Cook (Line Cook/Prep Cook)

Clairmont Place is looking for an experienced, dependable, positive, and well-organized cook to join our Dining Services team. We are a close-knit, supportive retirement community where relationships matter just as much as the meals we prepare.

If you're looking for a rewarding cooking career with a supportive team, meaningful work, and a schedule that allows for a better work-life balance, we'd love to meet you.

One of the perks of working at Clairmont Place is our schedule. Unlike many restaurant kitchens, there are no late-night shifts, and we close early on the weekends, giving you more time to enjoy your evenings and weekends with family and friends while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Benefits

• Paid Time Off (two weeks per year for full-time employees)
• Eight paid holidays each year (double-time pay if you work a holiday)
• Employee Assistance Program offering free counseling, legal assistance, financial resources, and other support for you and members of your household
