Chef

About Us
At Cascade Lodge, a residential treatment center, we help adolescent boys struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) develop the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives. We work with boys ages 13-18 to help them achieve their goals and navigate the challenges of OCD with confidence. We recognize that each boy has unique contributing factors to his OCD, including genetics, physical health, life experiences, thought patterns, distress tolerance, and interpersonal relationships. Our treatment team addresses each of these areas in a personalized plan. Our program is intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 26 boys, and is located in the scenic town of Huntsville, Utah.

We are looking for a Chef to join our team and prepare delicious and nutritious meals for our students. Chef responsibilities include menu development in collaboration with a dietitian, studying recipes, setting up menus, and preparing high-quality dishes. You should be able to delegate tasks to kitchen staff and mentor them to ensure meals are prepared in a timely manner. Familiarity with sanitation regulations is essential. If you have experience with advanced cooking techniques and non-traditional ingredients, we’d love to meet you. Ultimately, you’ll prepare and deliver a complete menu that encourages our students to build healthy eating habits as part of their overall well-being.
