Job description

GROWTH/PASSION/PURPOSE/WORK-LIFE BALANCE

“Cooking with love provides food for the soul” - Valerie McKeehan

Expertly preparing and serving a delicious meal at home is a remarkable skill. However, applying that same skill to serving dozens of people while maintaining the same quality and consistency is rare.

Whether you are new to the culinary arts or are a seasoned professional, a career with Benton House offers some unique but highly valued benefits.

Be Creative/Grow Your Skills

People are often surprised to learn we serve over 1.5 million meals a year in our communities. Our menus are more varied and specialized than even the most adventurous restaurant.

Add our regular happy hours and special events, toss in larger parties and catering opportunities, and you have enough challenges to pique the interest of even the most demanding chef.

Cook with Passion and Purpose

Our residents dine with us daily, in fact, multiple times a day. Your meals are often the most anticipated (and most appreciated) moments of their day.

Beyond the joy of cooking is the knowledge your work is critical. Your meals offer opportunities for residents to improve health, maintain fitness, and create connections. Your culinary creations save lives and promote joy daily.

Have Work/Life Balance

Few opportunities in food service can compete with Benton House regarding work/life balance.

"Home by 2" at our company means 2 p.m., not 2 a.m. Regardless of the start time, you can say "Home by 8." Team members cite the ability to see and spend more time with family as a prime reason for choosing Benton House.

Build A Career

The restaurant business can be notoriously risky, and burnout is rampant.

The average tenure of our Food Service Directors is over four years, and our chef/cook tenure is over two years. Food and Dining are just one of our paths to higher leadership.

Our company has served seniors for over 25 years. As a result, we are a stable enterprise and able to offer significant benefits. Benton Houses are award-winning, voted A Great Place to Work for four consecutive years and recognized by Fortune magazine as a national Top 50 Place to Work. We have also received national resident and family satisfaction accolades, including Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care by US News and World Report.

Working at Benton House means working with pride.

So, whether you are simply looking to add meaning to your work, advance your skills, or create a culinary career, Benton House is the perfect platform.

Applying is easy. Start now and make Benton House the next chapter in your culinary legacy.

THANK YOU for your interest in Benton House, and we wish you the best in your professional search.
