Nothing can brighten someone’s day better than a good meal, so whether you’re interested in preparing those meals or finding the best ways to offer healthy options to Veterans, VA’s Nutrition and Food Services team is cooking up opportunities for you.
Though you might not realize it, food services play a huge role in what we do at VA. Nutritionists and dietitians work with Veterans (and our facilities) to find healthy, tasty solutions. After that, it falls on our cooks to bring those visions to life, while our food service workers are the smiling faces that deliver those meals and clean up when we’re done.
Given how many plates our food services team keep spinning every day, there’s more than enough opportunity for you to get in on the action. No matter what role you’re interested in, food services workers are a critical need occupation throughout VA, which means there’s likely a facility near you with an opening that would be perfect for you.
