Job Description
The Food Services Worker II position is an essential role within the healthcare food service sector, ensuring that patients, staff, and visitors receive nutritious meals prepared and served in alignment with strict dietary and safety standards. This role is offered on a PRN (as needed) basis, providing flexible employment options for those looking to contribute to a healthcare team's success without a fixed full-time schedule. The establishment hiring for this position operates in the healthcare environment, primarily focusing on delivering meal services in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and similar institutions where diet and nutrition cater specifically to patient health needs.
In this capacity, the Food Services Worker II is responsible not only for meal preparation but also for assembling and serving these meals while strictly adhering to hygiene, sanitation, and food safety regulations required in healthcare settings. Employees will follow carefully designed dietary guidelines and meal plans developed in collaboration with healthcare providers and dietitians to meet various medical nutritional requirements of patients. Critical to this role is the maintenance of a clean and sanitary environment that meets all regulatory standards to protect the health of vulnerable individuals within the facility.
The Food Services Worker II plays a vital part in the smooth operation of the food service department, helping with inventory management, restocking supplies, and controlling food quality to minimize waste. Additional duties may include handling food service tools, operating kitchen equipment including dishwashing machines, and assisting with cashier duties in retail or cafeteria settings, if applicable. This role demands strong attention to detail and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment while upholding excellence in customer service and communication. The role emphasizes teamwork and coordination with kitchen staff and healthcare teams to ensure dietary compliance and patient satisfaction.
This flexible PRN role, while contingent, offers competitive pay and opportunities for career advancement. The hiring organization provides a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance; generous paid time off including an extended illness bank; a 401(k) matching program; as well as rewards and recognition programs and exclusive discounts and perks. Candidates who join the team can expect to work in a dynamic, supportive environment that values reliability, compliance with all policies and standards, and a patient-centered approach to food service in healthcare.
This position is ideal for individuals with prior food service experience, preferably in healthcare settings such as hospitals or long-term care facilities. Certification and training relevant to food safety, such as SAFE Serve and applicable state sanitation certificates, enhance candidates’ qualifications. The Food Services Worker II is a valuable contributor to the overall healthcare mission, promoting nutritional wellness and patient care through skilled and conscientious food service delivery.
