This position focuses on food preparation within TMH’s food service operations, primarily preparing appealing and nutritious foods for patients, cafeteria, and catered events. The role demands strict adherence to special diet recipes to ensure nutritional needs of patients are met according to medical and dietary guidelines. Candidates must be proficient in following recipe guidelines accurately and contributing to smooth departmental operations by assisting in other related tasks as needed. This position also has critical responsibilities centered on food safety and sanitation, requiring strict compliance with HACCP guidelines and thorough documentation of all HACCP-related activities during food preparation.
