Chinese Hospital, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a prestigious healthcare institution dedicated to providing high-quality medical services to the local community. With a rich history of serving diverse populations, the hospital is committed to delivering compassionate and culturally sensitive care, incorporating the latest advancements in healthcare technology and practices. As a community-focused hospital, it emphasizes the importance of comprehensive services, including food and nutrition, to promote patient health and recovery.
The Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) department at Chinese Hospital plays a critical role in supporting patient care by ensuring the timely preparation and delivery of nutritious meals tailored to individual dietary needs. The department upholds strict sanitation standards and adheres to local and state health regulations to maintain food safety. This full-time position reports directly to the Food and Nutrition Services Manager and involves both supervisory and hands-on culinary responsibilities. The role's salary range starts at $24.28 to $36.39 per hour, with the final offer based on factors such as experience, education, and specialty training.
This position focuses on preparing food for patients, staff, and guests while supervising dietary staff to ensure efficient kitchen operations. The role demands proficiency in both Chinese (Cantonese or Toisan) and English for communication and record-keeping purposes. The successful candidate will oversee food safety, quality control, inventory management, menu planning, and employee training, all while fostering a cooperative work environment.
Key responsibilities include managing tray-line operations, assuring compliance with therapeutic diets, maintaining performance improvement programs, and conducting routine sanitation and safety checks. The role requires a proactive approach to problem-solving, adaptability to changing priorities, and the ability to lead a team with good judgment and professionalism.
The role requires extensive interaction with patients and hospital staff, ensuring excellent customer service and upholding the hospital's compliance and ethical standards. As a leader within the FNS team, the individual will also assist in administrative duties such as scheduling, payroll processing, and budgeting.
Overall, this is an excellent opportunity for a bilingual food service professional with culinary knowledge, leadership skills, and a commitment to healthcare excellence who seeks to contribute to a well-respected hospital in a dynamic and culturally diverse region. Candidates must possess or be willing to obtain the Food Handler Certificate within 30 days of hiring and pass a pre-employment health screening. The position emphasizes continuous learning, professional development, and active participation in food safety certification and relevant workshops.
Chinese Hospital values diversity, dedication, and talent, offering a supportive environment that promotes work-life balance and career growth.
