Job Description

Dietary Cook / Line Cook — Make a Real Difference Every Day!

Are you ready to join a team where your cooking skills help brighten someone’s day? At our medical center, being a Cook means more than just preparing meals.

** What you’ll do:**

• This particular position is a combination of Cook duties in the kitchen and sometimes helping out as a Dietary Aide out in the dining room. Its a dual role.
• Prepare tasty, nutritious meals for patients, including special diets tailored with help from our Registered Dietitian.
• Keep the kitchen clean and safe, following strict food safety rules to protect everyone.
• Pitch in wherever needed — from stocking the freezer to chatting with patients about their meals or helping to prepare next week’s menu.
• Work as part of a fast-moving team that wears many hats every day.

** Why you’ll love this job:**
You’ll be part of something bigger than cooking — you’ll help improve lives every single day. A well-prepared meal can be the highlight of a resident’s day. Plus, you’ll grow your skills in a supportive, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same!

If you want a job where your work truly matters and every meal you prepare makes a difference, apply today!

Donna, our employee of 35 years, says “I love my work-family! We work well together, help one another and have fun while we’re here.”

Qualifications

** What we need from you** :

• Food Handler Certificate & Certified Food Protection Manager Certificate. If you do not currently hold these, you will be required to obtain within the first 60 days of employment.
• At least 1 year of dietary/cook experience in a healthcare facility or commercial/central kitchen (preferred)
• Basic knowledge of computer-based documentation systems
• Understanding of good food preparation, serving techniques, and food safety and sanitation rules
• High school diploma or GED (preferred)
