Experience

  • Previous experience in dietary departments or as a dietary aide is preferred but not required; training will be provided for motivated candidates
  • Experience in food handling, food service, or restaurant environments is advantageous
  • Familiarity with culinary techniques such as knife skills, meal preparation, and cooking methods is beneficial
  • Knowledge of food safety regulations and proper sanitation practices is highly valued
