WHO WE ARE:
Bergen Gardens, located in North Kildonan, is a unique Seniors Community where those who live, visit and work here experience a culture of creativity, choice, and well-being.

Bergen Gardens offers a friendly and positive work environment. We believe that when people are surrounded with opportunities to maintain connections with pets, nature, and people of all ages, they will continue to thrive and grow as a person.
Some of the perks that are included in working at Bergen Gardens include competitive wages, a health care spending account, group health benefits, long-term disability, life insurance, and a group DPSP/RRSP matching program. We want work to be a source of pride and personal fulfillment for our staff as they contribute to our joint success

- Provide for the nutritional needs of our elders by following the facility menu, special dietary needs, and recipes. Also, make recommendations to the Home Environment Manager or Home Environment Director for changes to the menu based on customer feedback.
- Prepare meals and make them according to the menu.
- Ensure that food is prepared and served following approved food handling techniques to ensure optimum nutritional quality, flavor, appearance, and proper temperature.
- Make efficient and proper use of food, dietary supplies, dishes, and cutlery to control costs.
- Assist in maintaining adequate inventories and ensuring proper quality.
- Ensure that proper storage procedures are followed for food purchases and other supplies when deliveries come to the home.

- Other duties as assigned.

What You Need to Be Successful:

- Completion of Grade 12 high school diploma or equivalent.
- Certificate in institutional food preparation is preferred.
- Minimum 3 years of relevant cook experience especially in leading others.
- Currently hold a Food Handling Certificate and Smart Choices Certificate.
- Good working knowledge of accepted sanitation standards and health codes.
- Ability to demonstrate empathy, concern, and interest in providing quality care and service to elders.
- Ability to communicate with well-developed written and verbal communication skills.
