Job of the Week | Food Service Worker
Food Service Workers play an important role in ensuring our inpatient Veterans get healthy nutritious meals to nourish them during a stay at the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center.
As part of the nutrition and food service, they help prepare and serve food and beverages to our Veterans.
“My favorite part is delivering the tray to the Veteran and getting to know them. It’s a small interaction but it is a meaningful one. Especially when someone says, thank you, I appreciate what you are doing for me,” said Gary Simmons, food service worker and Navy and Georgia National Guard Veteran.
Simmons has worked as a Food Service worker for four years. He sees it as another way to serve people while studying to get his degree in social work. He likes the care and teamwork that goes into preparing each meal tray that is served to an inpatient.
“Every person on that tray line has a part in putting that tray together for that one Veteran—so every patient gets taken care of by everyone on the line. That’s pretty cool to think that that one Veteran has six or seven people, saying I am here to make sure you get a good meal today,” Simmons said.
If you want to build a rewarding career helping Veterans with great benefits and the opportunity for advancement, VA Salt Lake City has open positions for Food Services Workers.
