- Has previous kitchen or cooking experience .
- Enjoys cooking from scratch and working with fresh, wholesome ingredients.
- Works well with others and enjoys being part of a collaborative team.
- Is reliable, organized, and able to work efficiently in a busy kitchen.
- Takes pride in quality and consistency.
- Is flexible and excited by a menu that changes daily.
- Enjoys being part of a local community.
- Wants to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility over time .
- Is willing to work at either our Newburyport or Ipswich location .
Grow With Us
We’re looking for someone who can contribute now but also sees a future with us. We want to invest in the right person and help them learn all aspects of our kitchen, develop their skills, and grow into greater responsibility and leadership over time.
Why Work With Us?
At The Natural Grocer, we believe work should be a joyful part of your life. We have a supportive team, a wonderful community, and a positive work environment. We’re open Monday–Saturday and closed every Sunday , giving our staff a consistent day to rest and recharge.
If you’re an experienced kitchen professional who loves good food, enjoys working with people, and wants to grow with a team, we’d love to hear from you.
How to Apply
Please send your resume and a brief description of your kitchen experience, including where you have worked, how long you’ve been working in kitchens, and the types of cooking or food preparation you’ve done.
Applicants without previous kitchen experience will not be considered.
