Chef Manager | Long-Term Care | Edmonton, Alberta

What if your next kitchen gave you the opportunity to lead, create, and make a difference every single day?

We're looking for an experienced Chef Manager to lead culinary operations at a long-term care community in Edmonton.

This is an opportunity for a strong culinary leader who can manage a busy operation, develop a team, and consistently deliver great food, while recognizing that in long-term care, the dining experience is an important part of someone's home and daily life.
Our community provides 24-hour nursing and personal care, supported by an interdisciplinary care team focused on enhancing resident well-being. This is a culinary leadership role where quality, consistency, safety, and genuine hospitality all matter.

Job Responsibilities

As Chef Manager , you'll lead the day-to-day culinary operation and help set the standard for the resident dining experience. You'll:

-

- Lead, coach, and develop the culinary and food service team

- Oversee daily food production and be comfortable stepping into the kitchen when needed

- Maintain high standards for food quality, flavour, presentation, cleanliness, and food safety

- Partner closely with the Dietitian and care team to support dietary, texture-modified, and therapeutic needs

- Bring creativity and variety to menus while balancing resident preferences and nutritional requirements

- Manage food costs, ordering, inventory, and waste

- Coordinate scheduling, workflow, and daily kitchen operations

- Maintain strong food safety, HACCP, and regulatory compliance standards

- Support catering, special events, and other culinary initiatives

- A genuine passion for coaching and developing people

- Strong organization, communication, and operational skills

- A diploma in Culinary Arts, Hospitality, Food & Nutrition, Management, or a related field is preferred

- Red Seal Certification required

- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, including Word and Excel

You Don't Need a Long-Term Care Background to Make an Impact Here

If you've built your culinary career in a restaurant, hotel, resort, catering operation, healthcare setting, or other high-volume kitchen, don't rule yourself out because you haven't worked in long-term care before.
We're interested in chefs who know how to lead people, run a strong kitchen, and deliver consistently excellent food.
What makes this environment different is the purpose behind it. Residents aren't simply visiting for a meal. This is their home. Food brings familiarity, enjoyment, comfort, and connection to their day, and the Chef Manager has an opportunity to shape that experience.
If you're ready to take your culinary leadership somewhere it can have a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.
This position includes physical requirements such as extended periods of standing and walking, bending, lifting, pushing, and pulling. Uniforms and personal protective equipment may also be required.
