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 TimePosition- weekdays and must be able to work every other Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM

  • 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 weekday and 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.
