Sous Chef (Full-Time) — $20–$24/hr
Description
Cook from scratch — and help run the kitchen.
Providence Place Senior Living is hiring a full-time Sous Chef for our Lancaster campus. This is hands-on, creative, scratch cooking for 150 senior residents who will know your name: home-cooked meals, demonstration cooking, residents’ own recipes, cooking classes, local ingredients. You’ll be the Executive Chef’s right hand — leading the line, training the team, and stepping up as acting dining director when they’re away.
What you’ll do
- Lead daily preparation of scratch-made meals residents genuinely look forward to
- Cook with creativity: demo cooking, resident recipe features, cooking classes, seasonal and local ingredients
- Walk the dining room nearly every meal — our residents are your regulars, not your tickets
- Run pre-meal huddles and set the standard for sanitation and food quality
- Help plan special-event menus and bring new menu ideas and recipes to the table
- Train new cooks and help them grow along the culinary career path
- Assist the Executive Chef with scheduling, ordering, inventory, hiring, and coaching
- Step in as acting Director of Dining when the Executive Chef is out
Schedule
Full-time, 10:30am–7:00pm. Must be able to work every other weekend and every other holiday.
What you bring
- 2–5 years of culinary experience, including time as a Line Chef or Sous Chef; some kitchen leadership preferred
- A real passion for great, home-style cooking — and the skills to back it up
- ServSafe certification, or able to earn it within 3 months of starting
- A teacher’s mindset: you enjoy training others and working as part of a leadership team
- Outstanding customer service and solid communication skills
- Culinary degree a plus, not required
- Comfortable on your feet all shift; able to lift up to 40 lbs
Pay & benefits
$20.00–$24.00/hour based on experience, plus health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with employer match, PTO, your birthday as a holiday, and more.
