Great Food. Great Team. No Late-Night Restaurant Hours.

Are you an experienced cook who loves creating great food but is ready for something different than the restaurant grind?

At CentraCare, you'll still get to do what you love—cook delicious meals, work with a great team, and stay busy in the kitchen—but you'll also have the opportunity to make a real difference for patients, families, visitors, and healthcare workers every day.

We're looking for experienced cooks who take pride in their craft and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where quality, teamwork, and service matter.

This position is for a Full-Time Cook, various (Swing Shift) hours and every 3rd weekend.

Schedule

  • Full-time | 72 hours per two weeks.
  • 9:30 am to 6 pm and 11 am to 7:30 pm shifts (you will be scheduled both).

Why Cooks Love Working Here

  • Starting pay of $21.96/hour , with higher pay based on experience
    • Full Pay range of $19.15 - $28.71/hour
    • Extra pay for evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Full and part-time benefits available
    • Visit our Benefits | CentraCare page for more information!
    • PTO, retirement, medical, dental, employee discounts, and more
  • Stable schedules posted in advance
  • Opportunities to grow within CentraCare
  • Work that truly matters

What You'll Be Doing

  • Preparing fresh meals for patients, visitors, employees, and special events
  • Following recipes while adding attention to detail and culinary expertise
  • Helping create a positive dining experience across the hospital
  • Maintaining food quality, safety, and sanitation standards
  • Working alongside a supportive team that knows how to get the job done
  • No two shifts are exactly alike, and you'll stay busy serving a variety of customers throughout the day.

We're Looking For

  • At least three years of cooking experience in a restaurant, hospital, care center, catering operation, or similar setting
    • We definitely prefer those that have a strong work history as a line cook.
  • Someone who enjoys working as part of a team
  • A cook who takes pride in serving high-quality food
  • Strong attention to food safety and sanitation
  • A positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed

Bring Your Skills to a Kitchen with Purpose

The meal you prepare could be the highlight of someone's day—a patient recovering from surgery, a family member supporting a loved one, or a nurse grabbing a quick meal during a busy shift.

If you're ready for a cooking job that's about more than just food, we'd love to talk with you.

Apply today and discover how your culinary skills can make a difference at CentraCare.
