ENHANCE YOUR CULINARY CAREER WITH PURPOSE

"Cooking with love nourishes the spirit" - Valerie McKeehan

Mastering the art of preparing and serving exquisite meals at home is a commendable talent. However, translating that skill to cater to numerous guests while ensuring the same level of quality and consistency is truly exceptional.

Whether you are just starting your journey in the culinary field or are an experienced chef, a position with Benton House presents unique and highly sought-after advantages.

Unleash Your Creativity and Develop Your Skills

Many are astonished to discover that we serve over 1.5 million meals annually across our communities. Our menus are diverse and tailored, surpassing even the most daring restaurants.

With regular social events and special occasions, along with larger gatherings and catering tasks, you will find ample challenges to engage even the most discerning culinary artist.

Cook with Intention and Meaning

Our residents enjoy dining with us daily, often multiple times a day. Your culinary creations are frequently the most awaited (and cherished) moments of their day.

Beyond the joy of cooking lies the understanding that your contributions are vital. Your meals facilitate opportunities for residents to enhance their health, maintain their fitness, and foster connections. Moreover, your culinary expertise plays a crucial role in promoting well-being and happiness every day.

Achieve Work-Life Harmony

Few positions in the culinary industry can rival Benton House in terms of work-life balance.

"Home by 2" at our organization signifies 2 p.m., not 2 a.m. Regardless of your start time, you can expect to be "Home by 8." Team members often cite the ability to spend quality time with family as a primary reason for choosing Benton House.

Build a Sustainable Career

The culinary industry can be notoriously unpredictable, and burnout is common.

Our Food Service Directors average over four years of service, while our chef/cook tenure exceeds two years. Food and Dining represent just one of the pathways to higher leadership roles.

Having served seniors for over 25 years, our company is a stable entity capable of offering substantial benefits. Benton Houses have been recognized as a Great Place to Work for four consecutive years and have been listed among the Top 50 Places to Work by Fortune magazine. We also excel in National Resident and Family Satisfaction, including accolades for Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care by US News and World Report.

Working at Benton House means embracing a sense of pride in your work.

Whether you seek to add significance to your career, enhance your skills, or find a place to cultivate a culinary profession, Benton House serves as the ideal platform.
