Every person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
As an Assistant Chef, you will cook and serve nutritious, healthy meals that our Residents will love. You'll support our First Chef, taking charge in their absence.
