Nutrition Assistant I

As our Nutrition Assistant I at CHI St. Vincent,  you will directly interact with patients and visitors every day.  You will personally ensure all dining areas are safely sanitized, well-stocked, and that food is appropriately prepared.  You understand most guests at our facility are dining with us for a reason and take great pride in giving them one less thing to worry about.  

Every day, you will serve the patients, families, and staff nutritious food that promotes health and healing to the body. You will be expected to set up trays for the hospital patients, following posted menu requests from the patient room service program while taking individual likes and dislikes into account. You will also be collecting dirty trays and dishes from the patient care areas and cleaning dishes in an automatic dishwasher, and returning these dishes to the proper storage areas

To be successful in this role, you must enjoy helping others and working in a fast-paced, fun work environment!
