**About This Opportunity**
This isn’t just another food service role—it’s your chance to lead a culinary team in a place where your work truly matters. We’re looking for a Dietary Manager who wants to build something meaningful in a tight-knit community, surrounded by Montana’s stunning Badlands. If you’re ready to trade the noise for wide-open skies and a team that feels like family, keep reading.

**What You’ll Do**
You’ll step into a leadership role at a 25-bed critical access hospital with an extended care facility, where your decisions directly shape patient and resident experiences. Here’s the real work:

- Lead and mentor the culinary team, overseeing everything from staffing and scheduling to food quality and department efficiency. You’ll be the person they look to for guidance and growth.
- Plan, coordinate, and run the Food Service department—think menus, budgets, policies, and procedures. You’ll collaborate with Registered Dietitians to develop menus that nourish and delight.
- Recruit, train, and develop your team, offering regular education opportunities that keep everyone sharp and engaged. You’ll also handle orientation and performance development.
- Conduct quality reviews to ensure the facility meets industry standards and compliance—no cutting corners here.
- Manage the department budget with a steady hand, balancing quality with cost-effectiveness.

**What You Bring**
You’re not just a manager; you’re a leader who’s been in the kitchen trenches. We need:

- **3+ years** of management experience, with at least **2 years** in hospital food operations.
- **ServSafe Food Service Manager Certification** (required) and willingness to become a **ServSafe Proctor within 60 days** of hire.
- **Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) Certification**—non-negotiable.
- An Associate’s degree is preferred, but we’re more interested in your track record.

**Why This Role?**
You’ll earn **$52,000–$79,000 per year**, plus full benefits and a relocation/sign-on package. The cost of living here is low, the community is warm, and the Badlands are your backyard. This is a place where your career can grow without the traffic jams.
