1 Per Diem Opening

Looking for a food service role in a calm, respectful, mission-driven environment?
Where your work directly supports a small residential community—not a high-volume public facility?

Key Responsibilities:

  • Set up, serve, and break down meal service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

  • Wash, sanitize, and store dishware, utensils, and kitchen equipment

  • Maintain cleanliness of dining rooms, dish rooms, and food service areas

  • Assist with basic food preparation as directed

  • Support special events, retreats, and catering needs

  • Follow sanitation, food safety, and fire safety procedures

  • Interact respectfully with residents, guests, and coworkers

Required Qualifications:

  • At least one year of food service experience or related training

  • Valid Food Handler’s Card (or obtain within 30 days of hire)

  • Ability to work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays

  • Strong attention to cleanliness, safety, and organization

  • Service-oriented, dependable, and team-focused

Preferred:

  • High school diploma or GED

  • Good communication skills in English

Position Details:
