Job Description

Porter – Behind Every Great Meal Is a Spotless Kitchen

Clean spaces, happy faces, and a team that feels like family.

About the Role:
If you’re someone who takes pride in keeping things clean, organized, and running smoothly, we’d love to have you on our team! As a Porter, you’ll play a key role in making sure our Food Service areas are safe, sanitary, and ready for action.

From dishwashing and pot scrubbing to wiping down equipment and keeping everything in order, your work helps create a welcoming environment for both our team and the people we serve. You may even lend a hand with food storage or service — every task you take on helps us deliver quality care.

What You’ll Do:

• Clean and sanitize all areas of the kitchen and food service spaces.

• Wash dishes, pots, pans, and utensils — keeping them sparkling and ready for use.

• Handle general cleaning of equipment and surfaces according to food safety standards.

• Assist with food storage, organizing supplies, and occasionally helping with service tasks.

• Follow all health and safety regulations — your attention to detail keeps everyone safe.

• Support your team and respond quickly to requests — teamwork makes everything smoother.

What You Bring:

• Good communication skills (spoken and written) in English.

• A current Food Handler’s Permit (or willingness to get one within 30 days of hire)

• Physical ability to handle the demands of the role — including bending, twisting, kneeling, reaching, and lifting.

• Great people skills — you’re friendly, respectful, and know how to work well with others.

• Ability to follow directions and stay organized in a busy environment.

Preferred:

• High school diploma or GED

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• You’re an essential part of a team that values cleanliness, safety, and service.

• You’ll work in a fast-paced but supportive environment where your contributions are noticed.

• You’ll help create a clean, welcoming space where patients and staff feel safe and cared for.

• You’ll gain valuable experience in healthcare and food service operations.

Love keeping things clean and making a difference behind the scenes?
Apply today and join a team where your work helps nourish and protect every person we serve.
