We have an immediate opening for Executive Chef for our beautiful independent living community for active seniors in Beverly – Colonial Gardens.

Ensuring the Community’s kitchen produces three (3) high quality, great tasting, well presented and nutritious meals every day, 365 days per year, made from scratch for the Community’s residents while remaining on budget in a clean and safe kitchen environment.

How to Apply:

If you are interested in this position, please submit your resume for consideration.
