Are you someone who enjoys making people smile and believes good food is part of good care? We’re looking for a dependable, upbeat team player to help serve patients with care, kindness, and a touch of flavor!
As a Food Service Specialist Team Member, you'll be the friendly face behind the scenes (and sometimes right at the bedside!) making sure meals are delivered with care, special diets are handled with precision, and every tray is just right.

What You’ll Be Doing:
Helping patients choose their meals
Assembling, delivering, and picking up trays (you’ll get your steps in!)
Making sure special requests and dietary needs are met
Delivering snacks and supplements between meals (yes, you’re the snack hero)
Stocking units with essentials
Assisting in basic food prep and service
Being a friendly, caring presence on the floor
What You’ll Need:
High school diploma or GED (as of August 1, 2019)
A valid Food Handler’s Permit (or be willing to get one within 30 days)
Basic math skills (don’t worry, no calculus here)
A positive attitude and ability to get along with all kinds of people
Ability to follow directions and work as part of a team
The strength to lift up to 50 lbs and move carts (built-in gym session!)
Good motor skills – you'll be bending, lifting, twisting, and reaching on the job
Strong verbal communication – you’ll be talking with patients, nurses, and coworkers
Comfortable using the phone
A kind, empathetic approach with everyone you meet
Bonus Points (Preferred but not required):
One year of experience in an institutional food service setting
If you love making a difference, enjoy working with food, and want to be part of a team that cares just as much about kindness as it does about quality, we’d love to meet you!
