Regional Chef jobs in Arkansas

Chefs For Seniors is a personal chef service that provides meals for independent seniors in the Central and Northwest Arkansas area. We are currently seeking a talented professional cook/chef to join our team.

My business is new to the area and in the process of building our roster of clients.

The position being offered would probably be 2-3 days per week, approximately 1-2 services per day. You will work with the same clients on a regularly scheduled day and time each week. This employee must have at least two days per week available on a consistent basis, dependable transportation, be accountable and have your own set of tools (skillets, sauce pans, spoons, knives, tongs, cutting boards, etc.).

This position is ideal for someone who is looking to supplement their current income, a retiree looking to stay active or stay-at-home parent who has available hours during the day. My goal is to provide the right candidate with 10-12 services per week. I need someone who is comfortable working mostly with the senior community and has a shared vision of growing the business.
