Executive Chef

Danberry at Inverness is searching for an Executive Chef with a passion for hospitality. We are hiring a chef looking for a change of pace—a chef looking to re-evaluate their work-life balance. Imagine feeding your passion for food while having an excellent schedulethat allows you time with your family and friends. A typical dinner service starts at 4:30 pm and ends at 6:30 pm. After some cleanup, you will be home to tuck in your baby or out catching the early bird drink special with friends. The Executive Chef position in a luxury retirement community is one of the best-kept secrets in the culinary industry; at least, that is what you will be telling your chef friends (via text, of course, because they will still be at work standing over a fryer while you're at home with your family).
