The posting

Skilled Nursing Facility — Ordway, Colorado 8-Week Contract Assignment | $40–$50/hour | Housing Available

The Opportunity

A skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Ordway, Colorado has an immediate need for an experienced Interim Dietary Manager to lead its food service program for an approximately 8-week assignment. This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing all dietary operations — staff supervision, therapeutic diet management, sanitation, purchasing, and regulatory compliance — with full support from facility administration.

Assignment Details

  • Duration: ~8 weeks (interim coverage)
  • Compensation: $40–$50/hour, based on experience
  • Housing: Available — on-site housing at the facility or off-site housing in nearby Las Animas
  • Location: Ordway, CO — within driving distance of Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Denver
  • Start: Immediate

Required Qualifications (Firm)

Candidates must hold one of the following:

  • Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) credential — ServSafe or other food-safety certifications alone do NOT meet this requirement, or
  • Associate degree (2-year) or higher in Culinary Studies

Additionally:

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Minimum 1 year of successful dietary management experience in a healthcare facility (skilled nursing, long-term care, or hospital setting strongly preferred)
  • Working knowledge of therapeutic/modified diets, food sanitation and safety regulations, food and labor law, and large-scale purchasing and budgeting
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across departments
  • Ability to meet the physical demands of an active kitchen environment, including regularly lifting 35+ lbs and occasionally up to 80 lbs

Key Responsibilities

Food Service Leadership

  • Direct all phases of dietary services, including preparation and service of a variety of therapeutic diets for residents with specific nutritional needs
  • Supervise, schedule, train, and evaluate cooks and dietary aides; delegate workload based on staff competency and facility layout
  • Step in as cook or aide when staffing shortages require
  • Maintain high standards of sanitation, safety, and equipment operation and care

Purchasing & Operations

  • Purchase food and dietary supplies within budget; manage inventory and verify deliveries against specifications
  • Maintain standardized recipes and supervise their use
  • Post written, dated work assignments in the kitchen aligned to resident dietary needs

Clinical & Compliance

  • Develop, implement, and periodically review the nutritional care component of each resident's care plan; document within required time frames
  • Attend care plan team meetings and quarterly resident interviews
  • Ensure nutrition counseling is provided and documented for residents with prescribed dietary modifications
  • Advise the attending physician or DON when nutritional requirements cannot be met through meals and supplements
  • Maintain resident diet records and tray card updates
  • Implement facility resident care and infection control policies related to dietary services
  • Participate in quality assurance meetings, in-services, and required committees

Work Environment

Active kitchen and office environment requiring sustained standing, walking, bending, and lifting. Frequent interaction with residents and families, often during emotionally difficult circumstances — maturity, professionalism, and compassion are essential.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
