Please read — retainership, not a regular job

This is a need-based retainership — work is assigned as and when required by the Institute. It is purely on a retainership basis and does not confer any right to a regular appointment or permanent employment.

The work

Inspection of mess kitchens, and vetting of mess menus — including nutritional assessment and recommendations.

Pay — per visit and per assignment, not monthly

Rs. 3,500 per visit to mess kitchens for inspection, assessment and professional recommendations; Rs. 5,000 per menu vetting assignment (vetting and review of mess menus including nutritional assessment and recommendations). Payment is made only against services actually rendered and duly verified. NO minimum number of visits or menu-vetting assignments is guaranteed. Because the pay is per visit and per assignment rather than monthly, no monthly salary figure is given in the summary cards — the rates are stated here.

Who can apply

A Master's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, Food and Nutrition, Clinical Nutrition, or an equivalent relevant discipline, from a recognised university or institution; with a minimum of 2 years' relevant professional experience in nutrition assessment, dietary planning, menu preparation or vetting, preferably in institutional catering, hostels, hospitals, educational institutions or large-scale food service establishments. Desirable: knowledge of food safety, hygiene, sanitation, safe food handling and applicable FSSAI guidelines; and experience working with educational institutions.

Fee

No application fee is stated in the notice, and no age limit is stated either.
