Personal Chef

Job Title: Personal Chef/Cook

At Chefs For Seniors Portland, we believe in making a difference in seniors' lives through the power of nutritious food. Join our team as a Personal Chef/Cook and enjoy the rewarding experience of helping older adults in Portland stay healthy and independent.

We also believe you should not have to sacrifice your evenings and weekends to pursue a career in cooking. Avoid the 12-hour shifts and 7-day work weeks and join our team. Our personal chefs primarily work on weekdays, between 8 am to 5 pm. Occasionally, we offer evening and weekend dinner party opportunities; they are optional.

If you possess a culinary degree or can demonstrate equivalent knowledge, own a reliable vehicle, have a smartphone, excel at interpersonal skills, and have a diverse repertoire of dishes you can prepare from scratch, we would love to have a conversation with you.

At Chefs For Seniors, we not only provide you with a fulfilling job where you are helping local seniors - but also offer training, uniforms, insurance, cooking equipment, and a consistent client schedule. If you are passionate about cooking, enjoy working with seniors, and meet the above requirements, we invite you to be a part of our socially innovative company.
