Cumberland Village is Aiken's premier independent senior living community, serving restaurant-style, made-to-order meals three times a day. We are hiring a Sous Chef to be the second in command of our dining department.

- Train new team members on recipes, station standards, safety, and sanitation
- Manage prep lists, par levels, receiving, rotation, and monthly inventory to control waste
- Maintain HACCP-aligned practices, temperature logs, and survey-ready sanitation every day
- Be visible in the dining room and support catering, holiday meals, and special events
Requirements:Required Skills/Abilities:
- 3+ years of professional cooking experience, including 1+ year as a sous chef, lead cook, or kitchen supervisor
- Ability to run a full production day independently, from prep through service and close
- ServSafe Food Handler certification; ServSafe Manager certification required or obtainable within 90 days of hire
