Dietary aides can expect to earn more as they gain experience in their field, although the increase is minimal. According to a survey on PayScale.com, many dietary aides move on to other jobs, including becoming a nursing assistant, a dietary cook or even a registered nurse. Usually, dietary aides need a high school diploma or its equivalent. Many aides receive on-the-job training, although some experience in food service can be a plus. Typically, dietary aides work in health care facilities and may spend a significant amount of time in kitchens and cafeterias. Aides should expect to be on their feet as they help prepare meals, review meal trays and deliver meals to patients and residents. Dietary technicians are expected to show patience and kindness when working with residents and patients, and must also uphold health-care privacy and confidentiality standards.
