The Salvation Army (TSA) Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) is a dedicated, no-fee program focused on assisting men and women in their journey towards complete rehabilitation. 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 organization relies heavily on the dedication, diligence, and devotion of its employees to maintain and enhance the effectiveness of the program offerings, creating a supportive environment that fosters healing, growth, and self-sufficiency.

As part of the Program Team within TSA, employees join a committed group of professionals who strive daily to make a positive impact on the local community. The Adult Rehabilitation Program operates with the guiding principle of "Do The Most Good," reflecting an earnest commitment to deliver profound community service. Employees in this setting not only contribute to the welfare of beneficiaries but also have the opportunity to engage in meaningful work that directly transforms lives. The work environment embraces collaboration, respect, and a shared vision to provide dignity and opportunity to those served.

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. It requires an individual with strong leadership and organizational skills, capable of overseeing food preparation, kitchen sanitation, and personnel training while ensuring nutritional, safety, and budgetary standards are met consistently.

This role demands hands-on involvement in scheduling kitchen workload, training kitchen personnel including beneficiaries on cooking techniques, safety protocols, and sanitation procedures. The employee ensures the maintenance of kitchen equipment through scheduling preventative and emergency repairs, managing inventory and stock rotation, ordering food within budget constraints, and establishing relations with suppliers including the local Food Bank. 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. Confidentiality regarding program operations is also essential. The role may involve occasional overtime with prior approval and other duties as assigned by the Administrator or their designate. Overall, it offers an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about community service, food service management, and making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals on the path to rehabilitation.
