By joining HC-One, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give back to those people.
As an Assistant Chef, you will cook and serve nutritious, healthy meals that Residents will love. You'll support our First Chef, taking charge in their absence. Whether managing food stock, optimizing your budget, coaching colleagues, or supervising kitchen clean-up, Resident wellbeing will always be your priority.
