Rooted in a strong tradition of service, TSA ARC plays a vital role in supporting individuals as they rebuild their lives and regain independence. The Salvation Army is a globally recognized charitable organization committed to providing social services that uplift families and individuals in need, and their Adult Rehabilitation Center embodies this mission by offering comprehensive programs designed to empower its beneficiaries.

The specific role available operates at a rate of $24.00 per hour, offering a competitive wage aligned with the valuable experience and responsibility required. This opportunity is not only a job but a chance to contribute authentically to a noble cause. The position involves managing and supervising kitchen operations within the Adult Rehabilitation Center.

Additionally, the role entails handling petty cash for food purchases under approved accounting procedures and collaborating with administrative staff on menu planning and special events.
Beyond these operational responsibilities, the position requires maintaining established personnel policies, enforcing disciplinary measures when necessary, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations as specified by TSA policies and governmental standards.
