  • Maintain accurate food storage, labeling, and sanitation documentation
  • Work collaboratively with residential, nursing, and operations staff to support a positive dining experience
  • Ensure dependable attendance and punctuality to support uninterrupted meal service operations
  • Maintain a calm, professional demeanor in a fast-paced healthcare and residential setting

What We're Looking For

  • High School Diploma or GED required
  • Minimum 1 year of experience in food service, commercial kitchens, cafeteria, healthcare dietary, school nutrition, senior living, or other institutional cooking environments preferred
  • Experience in healthcare, behavioral health, residential treatment, high-volume meal production, or working with children and adolescents is preferred
  • ServSafe Certification preferred (or willingness to obtain within designated timeframe)
  • Ability to safely operate kitchen equipment, follow food safety and sanitation standards, stand for extended periods, and lift up to 40 pounds
  • Dependable attendance, reliable transportation, and a strong work ethic required
  • Team-oriented, respectful, detail-focused, and comfortable working in a structured healthcare environment
  • Compassionate professionals who understand the important role food service plays in supporting health, comfort, and wellbeing

Schedule Expectations

  • Part-time and full-time positions available
  • Flexible scheduling may be available based on operational needs
  • Weekend, holiday, and rotating shift availability may be required
  • Consistent attendance is essential to maintaining quality meal service for our residents and patients

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive Pay $18.00$20.00/hour
  • Paid Time Off and Holiday Pay
  • Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
  • 403(b) Retirement Plan with Company Match
  • Tuition Reimbursement up to $21,000
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Career Growth and Professional Development Opportunities

Interviews are 30 minutes and first-come, first-served. Candidates who receive an offer will be asked to provide:

  • Valid Government-Issued ID
  • 3 Professional References
  • Education Transcripts

This fall, make a move that matters. Come meet our team on October 20th.
