PARC Retirement Living is an award-winning developer and operator of independent senior-living communities. We’re seeking a Dishwasher to join our Summerhill PARC team in North Vancouver.

About working at PARC

The PARC dining experience is as fast-paced and service-oriented as any high-end restaurant or café – and our cuisine rivals the best, too! But PARC is also the place our residents call home. As you become a member of our close-knit Food and Beverage team, you’ll also forge close relationships with the seniors who live here.

As a PARC Dishwasher, you’re responsible for:

• Helping to deliver an incredible dining experience for our residents and guests.


• Cleaning and sanitizing all cookware, dishware, and cutlery safely and efficiently – while minimizing breakage.


• Helping clean the kitchen, including equipment, countertops, and the beverage centre.


• Maintaining safe dishwasher temperatures and ensuring cleaning chemicals are stored and used according to WHMIS and other public health regulations.


• Working in an ergonomically safe manner, practicing proper lifting, bending, and reaching techniques to avoid injury.


• Assisting with stock control, food prep, and serving meals as needed.

The perks of PARC Hospitality

• Meaningful work. How many hospitality jobs can say that? At PARC, you’ll be making a positive difference in seniors’ lives, each and every day.


• Refreshments while you work. PARC’s chef-prepared cuisine rivals the best in BC, and we offer subsidized daily meals and beverages to employees.


• No more late nights. Unlike the rest of the hospitality world, our closing shift ends at 9 p.m.


• Flexible hours and location. We’re open to scheduling when and where it works for you – with guaranteed shifts every week. PARC has five great locations across the Lower Mainland.


• A supportive, diverse team and training opportunities. We believe in giving our people opportunities to advance wherever we can.


• High-value benefits. We offer Extended Health, Vision, Dental, Life, AD&D and Disability Insurance, plus an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), to help protect your health, family and way of life. Plus: birthdays off with pay, parental top-ups and much more!

It takes a special kind of person to work here – does this sound like you?

• You’re upbeat and positive; bringing great energy wherever you go.


• You have a minimum Grade 10 education or equivalent, plus experience with commercial dishwashing equipment, and knowledge of food service practices.


• You can hit the ground running in a fast-paced team environment, working safely with chemicals, and around hot water, steam, hot ovens, open flame and refrigerator/freezers.


• You can perform physical work, including prolonged standing and walking, lifting up to 10 kilograms safely – plus, bending, pushing, pulling, reaching ad carrying.


• You’re a details person, an excellent communicator and a customer-service star.


• You have your FoodSafe Level 1 and WHMIS certifications.


• You understand and respect the needs of seniors, their families, and and other professional services engaged with our residents.
