Job description

Menu Specialist – Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital, Bradford, MA
Part-Time | Rotating Saturdays & Sundays | 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM

Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital is looking for a dependable and detail-oriented Menu Specialist to support our Nutrition Services team on weekends. This isn’t your average food service job—you’ll play a key part in helping patients get the right meals for their recovery, tailored to their medical and cultural needs. It’s all about care, connection, and a strong eye for detail.

At Whittier, we take food seriously. As a Menu Specialist, you’ll ensure our patients get meals that are not just tasty but medically appropriate. You’ll help protect their health, improve their recovery experience, and make sure their individual preferences are honored.

This is a Part-Time Position—must be able to work every other Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Pay: $17.00–$19.00/hour

What You’ll Do:

• Adjust patient profiles and menu tickets based on dietary orders
• Modify menus to meet clinical dietary needs while supporting patient preferences
• Collect and log new dietary orders from physicians and ensure accurate implementation
• Supervise tray line for accuracy, making real-time adjustments to ensure patient safety
• Interview patients and families to understand specific preferences, allergies, or cultural considerations
• Prepare Production Sheets for the kitchen by tallying daily menu selections
• Stock prescribed enteral feeding products on patient units
• Assist the Dietitian in basic patient education and nutritional communication

Who You Are:

• Someone with 3–4 years of experience in food service, ideally in a healthcare setting
• High school graduate (or GED equivalent)—additional nutrition coursework is a big plus
• Able to use basic math and computer skills to manage dietary data and order entries
• Patient, observant, and respectful—able to listen, communicate clearly, and support patients of all ages, from adolescents to seniors
• Comfortable working independently, but also part of a tight, mission-driven team

What Makes Whittier Different:

We’re not owned by a corporation or dictated by a board of strangers—we’re family-run, locally trusted, and deeply committed to doing things the right way. That means real investment in staff development, a culture of mutual respect, and a shared drive to push the standard of care forward. With the latest medical technology and a team of passionate clinicians by your side, you’ll have the tools and autonomy to make a real impact.

What We Offer:

• Steady weekend hours in a respectful, team-first environment
• Pride in knowing you’re part of something bigger than yourself
• Leadership that values your attention to detail and reliability
• Competitive pay and supportive coworkers

If you’re organized, compassionate, and ready to bring thoughtful care to the dietary side of recovery, we’d love to have you join the Whittier team.
