Job description

Description

**Experience pays off-literally. Tell us about your background and maximize your earning potential**


Culinary Assistant - AKA Kitchen Sidekick & Mealtime Magician

Position Type: Full stomachs, full-time/part time

Are you the type of person who knows the difference between a ladle and a lollipop, believes mashed potatoes deserve respect, and can turn a tray of green beans into a five-star experience (with a little seasoning and a lot of love)? Well then, aprons on-this job's for you.

Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):

As a Culinary Assistant, you'll be the right hand of our culinary team-serving up comfort, nutrition, and joy one plate at a time. You'll help prep meals and snacks, serve with a smile, and ensure that our residents are happily fed and well-nourished, all while keeping the kitchen so clean it would make your grandma proud.

What You'll Be Stirring Up:

  • Follow state food service regulations-because we like our kitchens compliant and delightful.
  • Help whip up well-balanced meals that are both tasty and easy on the waistline (or at least on the dietary chart).
  • Respect those special diet requests like they came straight from the Queen. ??
  • Serve food like a pro, using scoops, ladles, and just the right amount of flair.
  • Ensure meals roll out on time. This isn't fast food, but we do believe in punctual peas.
  • Say yes to seconds! Because sometimes one helping just isn't enough.
  • Prepare snacks that'll make our residents' tastebuds do a happy dance.
  • Keep the kitchen sparkling-walls, floors, and every little nook that might hold a rogue breadcrumb.
  • Cover, label, and date food like it's going into a museum collection.
  • Wash dishes like a champ (yes, even that one pot that somehow burned water).
  • Monitor fridge and freezer temps like you're guarding a vault of gold (frozen peas count).
  • Rock that hairnet like it's runway fashion. Clean, tidy, and food-safe is the name of the game.
  • Take out the trash-literally, not emotionally.


Requirements

Your Recipe for Success:

  • High school diploma or equivalent (because we believe in brains and biscuits).
  • A current Food Services Sanitation certificate-don't worry, we like our food certified safe.
  • At least one year of food prep experience, including therapeutic diets 
  • Multitasking superpowers.
  • Good judgment and decision-making skills. (Like knowing not to serve spicy chili on Bingo night.)
  • The ability to keep it cool under pressure-even when the oven isn't.
  • Excellent communication and a warm, friendly vibe with residents, families, and your culinary comrades.

 Why Join the Bridgemark Family?

At our facilities, meals are more than just food-they're moments of connection, care, and sometimes, a good ol' fashioned dessert debate. We're looking for someone who's ready to serve with heart, sprinkle in a little fun, and make our residents feel right at home.

The Fine Print (Still Important!):

Offers of employment are contingent upon a successful background check and drug screen. We want to keep our residents safe, happy, and in good hands-you're part of that promise.
