2025 Breakfast Cook & Dinner Assistant

Inside a small professional kitchen are two figures. One stands at a table cutting potatoes. The other stands in the corner holding an armful of produce.

Head Chef Intaba and Andrew prepare for dinner.

We are hiring one extra person to join our kitchen staff as a breakfast cook and dinner assistant for 2025. BMC’s kitchen is a bright, open space. We strive to keep our meals simple and varied, but welcome creativity. Cooking experience, comfort in the kitchen, and a passion for hospitality are required, but professional cooking experience is not required. Ideally, potential candidates are excited about food and want to be part of a community of socially engaged, hard working people. Please see the description and application requirements here. You may also view the listing on Idealist here. The deadline to apply is March 15, 2025. Applicants should send a cover letter detailing their work experience, and at least two references to bmc@bluemountaincenter.org.

2025 Program Interns

We are also hiring interns throughout our 2025 season! Interested applicants must be able to commit to a stay of at least two months. See the intern description and application requirements here. You may also find the posting on Idealist here. While we will generally evaluate and accept applications on a rolling basis, we ask that applicants who are available for our early Spring-Summer position (ideally from mid-April to mid-June) submit their applications by March 15. Applicants should send a cover letter, a resume, and at least two references to bmc@bluemountaincenter.org.
