Job description

Cook (On-Call) – Skilled Nursing Facility

Pay starts at $22.23 per hour, with opportunities for higher starting wages based on relevant experience.

Not every great cook wants a traditional schedule—and that's okay.

We're looking for an On-Call Cook to join our dietary team at a skilled nursing facility. If you enjoy preparing quality meals, working with a supportive team, and making a difference in the lives of others, we'd love to meet you.

What 'On-Call' Means

This is not a position with a set weekly schedule. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to pick up available shifts as they become available due to vacations, call-offs, increased census, or other staffing needs. It's a great option for someone looking for flexibility while still being part of a dedicated team.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and serve nutritious, appetizing meals for our residents.
• Follow recipes, portion guidelines, and therapeutic diet requirements.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary kitchen.
• Work alongside dietary aides and the healthcare team to provide an excellent dining experience.
• Follow food safety and infection control standards.

What We're Looking For

• Experience cooking in a commercial kitchen, healthcare, or similar environment is preferred.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced setting.
• Dependable, flexible, and willing to pick up shifts as needed.
• A positive attitude and a team-first mindset.
• Passion for serving others through great food.

If you're looking for a flexible role where your work truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.
