About working at PARC

The PARC dining experience is as fast-paced and service-oriented as any high-end restaurant or café – and our cuisine rivals the best, too! But PARC is also the place our residents call home. So, as you become a member of our close-knit team, you'll forge close relationships with the seniors who live here.

As a PARC Chef de Partie, you're a key member of our Food and Beverage team, responsible for:

• Creating an incredible dining experience for our residents and guests.
• Helping prepare meals according to our established menus – with close attention to artistic plating, proper portions and safe food-handling procedures.
• Maintaining a clean kitchen and workspace.
• Receiving deliveries and safely storing, labelling, and rotating food to prevent spoilage.
• Providing creative input on regular and special-event menus.
• Supporting the Executive Chef by stepping in to lead the culinary team as needed and conducting kitchen audits.
• Assisting kitchen cleaning, including equipment, countertops, and the beverage centre.
• Monitoring resident satisfaction by talking with residents in the dining room.

The perks of PARC Hospitality

• Meaningful work. How many hospitality jobs can say that? At PARC, you'll be making a positive difference in seniors' lives, each and every day.
• Refreshments while you work. PARC's chef-prepared cuisine rivals the best in BC, and we offer subsidized daily meals and beverages to employees.
• No more late nights. Unlike the rest of the hospitality world, our closing shift ends at 9 p.m.
• Flexible hours and location. We're open to scheduling when and where it works for you – with guaranteed shifts every week. PARC has five great locations across the Lower Mainland.
• A supportive, diverse team and training opportunities. We believe in giving our people opportunities to advance wherever we can.
• High-value benefits. We offer Extended Health, Vision, Dental, Life, AD&D and Disability Insurance, plus an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), to help protect your health, family and way of life. Plus: birthdays off with pay, parental top-ups and much more!

It takes a special kind of person to work here – does this sound like you?

• You're upbeat and positive; bringing great energy wherever you go.
• You're ready to hit the ground running in a fast-paced team environment, managing high-stress situations and competing priorities.
• You're a skilled leader, an excellent communicator, and a customer-service star.
• You have a culinary diploma or equivalent, plus at least three years of experience in a similar position. Red Seal training and certification are strong asset.
• You have your Food Safe Level 1 and WHMIS certifications. CPR and First Aid certification would be a bonus.
• You have a flair for creative food preparation, and experience with portion control, menus and the use of commercial kitchen equipment.
• You understand and respect the needs of seniors, their families, and the professionals engaged in their care.

At PARC Retirement Living we understand the importance of immunization to protect our residents, team members and visitors from COVID-19. As such, a prerequisite of employment is that all new hires are fully vaccinated as approved by Health Canada.
