Sequoia Springs Assisted Living & Memory Care
Fortuna, CA

Make a real impact every day.
At Sequoia Springs, mealtimes are more than food—they’re comfort, community, and quality of life. We are looking for a dependable, energetic Dietary Aide/Server who takes pride in excellent service, cleanliness, and teamwork. If you want a job where your work matters and residents genuinely appreciate you, this is it.

About the Role

The Dietary Aide/Server supports both the dining room and kitchen to ensure residents receive safe, nutritious meals in a warm, welcoming environment. You will serve meals, maintain sanitation standards, assist with basic food prep, and contribute to the overall efficiency of the dietary department. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role where attention to detail and a positive attitude are non-negotiable.

What You’ll Do

Dining Room Service

• Serve meals and beverages promptly, accurately, and professionally according to resident diet orders.
• Create a warm dining experience by engaging respectfully with residents and responding to their needs.
• Bus, clean, and reset tables throughout meal service.
• Maintain a clean, organized, restaurant-style dining environment.
• Communicate resident feedback or concerns to the Dietary Manager.

Kitchen Support & Cleaning

• Assist with light food prep and meal assembly as directed.
• Wash and sanitize dishes, cookware, and utensils to meet safety standards.
• Deliver and retrieve meal trays from Memory Care promptly.
• Keep all kitchen areas—including floors, walls, sinks, equipment, fridge, freezer, and pantry—clean, organized, and compliant.
• Break down boxes, remove trash, and maintain safe storage (no food on the floor).
• Support the team with additional duties to keep operations running smoothly.

Safety & Compliance

• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and infection control guidelines.
• Maintain a neat, professional appearance and follow uniform standards.
• Demonstrate teamwork, reliability, and a consistently positive attitude.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in assisted living, nursing homes, hospitals, or food service strongly preferred.
• Understanding of basic food prep, serving techniques, sanitation, and food safety.
• Strong time-management skills and the ability to work efficiently during busy meal periods.
• Excellent communication skills and a genuine commitment to customer service.
• Ability to stand for long periods, lift moderate loads, and perform cleaning duties.
• Familiarity with dietary guidelines is a plus but not required.

Why Join Sequoia Springs?

You’ll be part of a committed team that values respect, reliability, and high standards. We believe in a supportive work environment where every employee contributes to the well-being of our residents. This role offers hands-on experience in both food service and healthcare—skills that open doors to career growth.
