In our nutrition areas, you can find your purpose helping to nourish patients back to health and fuel their caregivers. All jobs in this area work together to provide healthy meals for our patients and coworkers. We make good food safely!
Nutrition services jobs are available at all our hospitals, the CentraCare Plaza and some senior communities.
These jobs are better than most restaurants for three main reasons: We offer benefits no restaurant can, and you’ll almost never have to work past 8 p.m.! Lastly, we don’t run the same risk of closing that many restaurants do. You’ll have the stability you need, knowing you’ll still have a job tomorrow.
Cooks and chefs: Our cooks and chefs make food- LOTS of it! Enough to feed dozens if not hundreds- and even more than 1,000 people most days at St. Cloud Hospital – Three meals a day, every day of the year!
Nutrition Services Associate, Café Server: The responsibilities vary widely in this role. You might work to help our cooks, prepare desserts, keep food and drinks stocked in the kitchen, serve food, ring up customers and more.
Patient Dining Associate: These members of our team get food to patients. Seems simple but there’s a lot involved. Responsibilities include taking patient (and some guest) food orders over the phone, building trays, delivering meals to patient rooms and stocking fridges on patient care units.
We get to deliver meals to new moms, ginger ale and crackers to those undergoing chemotherapy and quite often get to be the bright spot in our patients’ days!
