Kitchen Assistant - Pediatric Clinic

Food is medicine! Are you looking to contribute to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and adolescents ? We are looking for someone who has an interest in preparing meals for our kids and providing overall support for the kitchen department.

Parents do not cause eating disorders and children do not choose to have them. Kartini Clinic, an internationally recognized pediatric eating disorder treatment facility in Portland, Oregon, is passionate about providing children and families with the treatment, support, and education they need both medically and therapeutically. Since 1998 we have treated more than 3000 children and young adults with all forms of disordered eating. We use a family-based treatment model to treat patients within our partial hospitalization program (aka : day treatment program).

As the clinic's kitchen assistant, you will work closely with the kitchen coordinator to prepare breakfast, lunch, and a snack for each patient under our care, as well as any staff members joining meal times. Throughout the day you will have time to clean the kitchen area and equipment. You will also have time to go through supply inventory and communicate any needed items to the kitchen coordinator.

This is a full-time position of about 36 hours per week. Your day would begin at 7 : 30 am each day. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, so you won't be working nights or weekends with us! The person to best fill this role would have previous experience working with food preparation, as well as, good organizational and time management skills. A team player attitude will get you far with us!

If you are interested in contributing to the care of children during a pivotal point in their lives, we invite you to apply! Our application process is straightforward, please upload your resume and answer a few additional questions so that we can learn a bit more about you. Your application will be sent directly to our hiring team. If you are selected for an interview we will reach out to you to find a time that works well for you. We look forward to hearing from you!
