Mealtime is one of the best parts of the day for our residents, and our dietary team plays a big role in making that happen. As Dietary Manager, you’ll run the day-to-day operation of our kitchen and dining services, making sure every resident gets meals that are high quality, meet their nutritional needs, and reflect their preferences and prescribed diets. You’ll lead and support the dietary staff while keeping the department in line with food safety, sanitation, and state and federal regulations.

If you’re an experienced food-service professional who enjoys leading a team and understands how much good dining matters in a skilled nursing setting, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Make sure meals, snacks, and therapeutic diets are prepared and served accurately, following menus, diet orders, resident preferences, and regulatory requirements

• Maintain compliance with food safety, sanitation, infection control, and state and federal regulations
• Manage food and supply ordering, inventory, storage, labeling, and rotation, while helping control food costs and cut down on waste
• Make sure kitchen equipment, refrigerators, freezers, prep areas, and dish areas meet sanitation and safety standards
• Keep dietary records, temperature logs, sanitation documentation, and other required paperwork up to date
• Jump in on meal prep and service when needed to support the team and take care of residents
• Create a positive, resident-centered dining experience and respond to resident preferences and concerns
• Partner with facility leadership on department goals and overall quality of care

What We’re Looking For

• Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) credential highly preferred. If you’re not currently certified, you must be willing and eligible to get certified after accepting the position.
