This is more than a hospital-based nutrition role—it’s a rare opportunity to be part of Ontario’s only accredited human milk bank, one of just three in Canada recognized by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America. As a Diet Technician in the Rogers Hixon Ontario Human Milk Bank (RHOHMB), you’ll play a vital role in supporting the distribution of pasteurized donor human milk for hospitalized infants not just in Toronto, but across Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and PEI. Operating within a specialized food manufacturing facility inside the hospital, you’ll apply rigorous food safety and quality assurance standards to support the production of life-saving nutrition to medically fragile newborns.

Is this you?

You are highly detail-oriented and thrive in situations where precision and organization matter. In this role, you’ll work with numbers, labels, and specialized equipment, ensuring donor milk is accurately logged, processed, and distributed according to strict safety protocols. Using aseptic techniques, you will carefully handle donor human milk, maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and quality control.

Are you a problem solver who thrives under pressure while meeting deadlines? As a Diet Technician in the Milk Bank, you’ll work collaboratively with your team, but you’ll also need to complete tasks independently, using your critical thinking skills to troubleshoot any technical issues that arise.

If you are eager to develop your technical skills in a cutting-edge environment, this role offers the opportunity to work with specialized equipment for pooling and bottling donor human milk.
