Join Our Mission

At Resort Lifestyle Communities (RLC), serving seniors isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. When you join our team, you become part of a close-knit, servant-hearted community guided by our Core Values: Respect, Honesty, Kindness & Compassion, and Service Excellence.

Together, we work toward four essential goals that guide our success:

  • Happy Employees
  • Happy Residents
  • Full Occupancy
  • On-Budget Operations

About The Role

As our Weekend Cook, you’ll step in on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure residents enjoy the same high quality dining experience they receive throughout the week. Working in our scratch-based kitchen, you’ll prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner as scheduled, creating meals that are safely cooked, visually appealing, and portioned to resident preferences. Just as importantly, you’ll build positive relationships with residents, guests, and team members to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere every weekend.

What We’re Looking For

  • Must be at least 18 years of age or older.
  • Ability to work every Saturday and Sunday, at least 8 hours per day.
  • Ability to read, speak and understand basic English.
  • Experience in kitchen preparation and cooking, preferred.
  • Ability to secure appropriate food handler permits as required by local ordinances within two (2) weeks of first day of employment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and present high‑quality dishes by cooking a wide variety of proteins and vegetables using methods such as broiling, grilling, frying, and sautéing, and ensuring every plate looks appealing.
  • Engage in continuous improvement by contributing ideas during meetings, staying open to feedback, and maintaining attentive coverage of the service line during meal hours.
  • Complete all assigned opening and closing tasks for each shift, including morning setup or end‑of‑day shutdown, while supporting teammates with shared duties to maintain a clean, safe, and organized kitchen.
  • Keep stations fully stocked and well organized by maintaining adequate food supplies, refreshing pantry items for freshness and appearance, and monitoring refrigeration as needed.
  • Ensure a sanitary kitchen environment by thoroughly cleaning work areas and equipment and regularly checking and recording food, refrigeration, and dish‑machine temperatures to support safety and satisfaction.

Why RLC?

  • Awesome Perks: Enjoy your pay on demand, employee discounts, and more.
  • Fast-growing, family-owned company with 60 communities nationwide
  • Supportive leadership in a beautiful, resort-style environment
  • A purpose-driven role where you make a difference every day
