Help Make Every Meal Meaningful

At Masconomet Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, meals are more than food - they're comfort, connection, and an important part of healing. We're looking for a compassionate, organized, and self-motivated Resident Dining Coordinator/Diet Aid to help ensure every resident receives meals that meet their clinical needs while honoring their personal preferences.

We're looking for someone who can work independently, build relationships with residents, and ensure every meal is accurate and personalized.

What You'll Do

As our Resident Dining Coordinator, you'll become a familiar and friendly face to our residents. You'll spend your day moving throughout the building, meeting with residents, learning their preferences, and ensuring they receive the right meals at the right time.

Resident Dining & Menu Management

Dietary Order Management

• Adjust resident meal profiles and menu tickets based on new dietary orders.

• Enter meal selections and dietary information into the computer system accurately.

• Understand and apply various diet consistencies, including regular, chopped, diced, and texture-modified diets.

Meal Service Support

• Communicate meal needs and special requests to cooks during service.

• Ensure completed meals are placed correctly on meal carts.

✔ Pays attention to details.
✔ Follows up and sees things through, independently.
✔ Enjoys talking with people and making them feel heard and respected.
✔ Can gently redirect conversations and stay focused on the task at hand.
✔ Is comfortable using computers and learns new systems quickly.
✔ Understands that small actions-like getting someone's meal just right-can make a big difference in their day.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required.

• 3-4 years of food service experience preferred, ideally in healthcare or senior living.

• ServSafe certification is a plus.

• Basic computer and data-entry skills.
