This is a full-time, non exempt, hourly position with a range of $22.60 - $25.48 per hour.

Ensure compliance with USDA CACFP guidelines and Dallas County Health Department standards at all times.
Communicate regularly with the Food Service Director regarding performance, needs, or compliance issues.

Food Safety & Sanitation

Ensure kitchen cleanliness, proper sanitation, and strict adherence to food safety practices at all times.
Follow and enforce established kitchen sanitation and cleanliness standards; develop and restructure procedures as necessary to maintain quality.
Maintain the highest standards of personal hygiene and ensure multi-use areas are kept clean and equipment properly stored.
Demonstrate an active concern for children's physical health and safety and take corrective action when needed.

Staff Leadership & Training

Train and support new kitchen staff in kitchen procedures and CACFP expectations.
Foster a collaborative, accountable kitchen team culture aligned with Vogel's mission and values.

Detail-Oriented: You are able to complete accurate records and follow state and federal documentation requirements with consistency.
A Communicator: You have strong interpersonal and communication skills and can work effectively with a collaborative kitchen team and organizational leadership.
Mission-Minded: You demonstrate compassion, patience, and respect for the children and families Vogel serves.
