Dietary Aide Jobs in Franklin, MA

A Dietary Aide, also known as a dietetic aide, is a professional who provides crucial support within the nutrition industry, primarily in healthcare settings like hospitals, nursing homes, or rehabilitation centers. Their primary role involves assisting dietitians or nutritionists in food planning and preparation, ensuring the meals meet the dietary needs of the patients. This could include preparing special meals for patients with food allergies, diabetes, or other specific dietary requirements. They are responsible for maintaining cleanliness in the kitchen, adhering to food safety standards, and sometimes even helping patients with their meals. A Dietary Aide is also often in charge of keeping records, including meal consumption, food inventory, and patient dietary information.

Key skills for a Dietary Aide include strong knowledge of nutrition and diet, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. In terms of certification, there aren't specific certifications required for this role, although a Food Handler's Permit is usually expected. Prior to becoming a Dietary Aide, a person might have experience in roles such as a kitchen helper, food service worker, or even a caregiver. These positions provide valuable experience in food preparation, safety procedures, and patient interaction, all of which are very beneficial for a Dietary Aide role.
