  • Be responsible for all Dining Services, managing multiple venues and menus, and leading kitchen and front-line staff in ensuring our dining experiences are world class with an outstanding level of cuisine and service.
  • Create and nurture a Dining Services culture of excellence, accountability, engagement, continuous improvement, and teamwork while building a strong Dining leadership team with the Executive Chef, Executive Sous Chefs and the Dining Managers & Supervisors.
  • Ensure Dining Services is managed with fiscal responsibility and meets all compliance requirements, including nutrition, food safety and cleanliness, working conditions, and other CCRC-based regulatory components.

  • Must have a thorough knowledge and experience with Dining Service operations, employee management, public relations, and all applicable Federal and appropriate State regulations. Experience specific to a CCRC is helpful but not required.
Benefits
  • A beautiful campus and work environment filled with friendly people.
  • Competitive pay based on experience.
  • Low cost health insurance coverage (major medical, FSA, vision, dental, AD&D).
  • Life and disability insurance coverage paid 100% by The Forest.
  • 403B retirement plan with generous company match.
  • Paid sick and vacation time.
  • Employee wellness and recognition program.

The Forest at Duke embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
