Job Description

The hiring establishment is a respected healthcare organization that embraces a mission to provide enduring, high-quality health care services to enhance the well-being of Native Hawaiians and all residents of Hawai'i. This organization is deeply rooted in a legacy inspired by Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV whose vision was to ensure access to compassionate medical care that is infused with respect, aloha, and excellence. They pride themselves on their core values of compassion, aloha, respect, understanding, and a commitment to excellent service delivery. As a healthcare provider, the establishment focuses on creating a supportive, inclusive, and nurturing environment for both patients and staff, emphasizing holistic care and cultural sensitivity.

The role available is for a Food Service Worker, an essential position within the food and nutrition department of the healthcare setting. This is a full-time employment opportunity where the worker will be primarily responsible for performing a variety of routine food service duties that contribute to patient care and satisfaction. Responsibilities include basic food preparation, serving meal trays to patients and customers, and maintaining sanitation standards to ensure clean and safe dining environments. This is a physically demanding role that requires the ability to handle food service tasks according to established policies, safety regulations, and hygiene protocols. The Food Service Worker must work efficiently to prepare and distribute meals while also completing cleaning and janitorial duties related to equipment and dishware.

The candidate must have effective verbal and written communication skills in English and ideally have a high school diploma or equivalent educational background. Although prior experience in food service is preferred, training can be provided. The role also involves meeting rigorous physical requirements such as lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling weights up to 50 pounds, frequent walking, bending, squatting, and working in environments that range from cold freezers to outdoor conditions. Safety awareness is critical due to handling sharp objects and navigating slippery, icy, or confined spaces.

This position offers an excellent pathway for individuals seeking employment in a healthcare-related food service career, delivering vital support that enhances the patient experience. The organization is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusivity, and providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities or veterans. Joining the team means being part of a legacy of compassionate care where each contribution makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the community’s population.
