Our House provides healthcare, housing, occupational therapy, and other vital services to those in need living with HIV. Our House has been part of the Portland community since 1988. Our services have expanded but our commitment to people living with HIV has remained the same. HIV is a complex and challenging disease that can often be overwhelming.
We operate a Residential Care Facility for 14 residents living with HIV/AIDS. We offer our residents three meals a day, seven days a week as our nutrition is crucial to our health and well being. If you enjoy connecting with folks over food and cooking and want to end your week by serving your community, Our House has the perfect opportunity for you!
We are searching for Lunch Cooks to join our team and community. This opportunity is each day from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Lunch cooks are the anchor of our mid-day meal and have a helper that assists with order taking, dishes and service! We currently have weekly openings on Monday, Thursday and Friday!
The lunch cook arrives at 10:00 am. They begin by assesses food and ingredients for the lunch menu of the day and works with the helper to cook and prepare the meal. Our kitchen is well stocked but also receives a variety of wonderful food donations twice a week which allows us to offer a variety of food to our residents. The offerings vary from made to order dishes to homestyle comfort casseroles. If you are a creative in the kitchen and have your own recipe, we are happy to hear your thoughts and potentially offer it on our menu in few weeks.
Typical duties include, but are not limited to:
- Assess leftovers and other stock on hand to create menu items
- Dish washing
- Connect with residents during lunch time
- Complete food order log
- Follow food safety guidelines and procedures
- Maintain kitchen cleanliness
