Kansas, MO Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/16/2026
At Wexford Place, a Senior Star community, we believe dining is more than a meal—it’s an experience. It’s where connection happens, where comfort is created, and where our residents feel truly at home.

We’re looking for a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) who takes pride in creating exceptional dining experiences while leading a team with purpose, energy, and heart.

What You’ll Do

As our Dietary Manager, you’ll lead the full food & beverage operation for our Assisted Living and Memory Care building —balancing quality, hospitality, and operational excellence.

  • Create a high-quality dining experience that residents look forward to every day
  • Lead kitchen and dining teams to deliver consistent, welcoming service
  • Plan menus that offer variety, nutrition, and resident satisfaction
  • Manage inventory, purchasing, and budgets with strong attention to detail
  • Ensure compliance with all food safety, sanitation, and regulatory standards
  • Recruit, train, and develop a strong, engaged culinary team
  • Be present in the dining room—connecting with residents, resolving concerns, and elevating the experience
  • Partner with leadership to support community events, tours, and overall success

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • You care deeply about serving others, especially seniors
  • You bring strong leadership presence—you can guide a team and jump in when needed
  • You understand both the heart and the business of food service (quality cost control)
  • You hold high standards for cleanliness, safety, and professionalism
  • You’re energized by creating an environment where residents and team members thrive

What You Bring

  • Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) certification required
  • 2 years of food service or culinary leadership experience
  • Knowledge of food preparation, sanitation, and kitchen operations
  • Experience with budgeting, inventory, and purchasing
  • Ability to lead, coach, and build a strong team culture
  • A commitment to delivering a Top in Class dining experience every day

Why Senior Star?

At Senior Star, our focus is simple: take care of our people so they can take care of our residents.

You’ll Be Part Of a Team That Values

  • Hospitality that goes beyond expectations
  • Teamwork that lifts each other up
  • Leadership that finds the best in people

The Impact You’ll Make

You won’t just run a kitchen—you’ll create moments that matter. From daily meals to special events, your work will shape how residents feel, connect, and experience life in our community.

If you’re ready to lead with purpose and create something meaningful every day, we’d love to meet you.
