As the Lead Cook, you'll lead Vogel's kitchen team in preparing and serving nutritious meals for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years, while maintaining the highest standards of food safety, sanitation, and CACFP compliance. You'll be the heartbeat of our kitchen — supervising staff, overseeing daily operations, and ensuring every child receives a meal prepared with care. If you're a hands-on leader with a passion for food service and a heart for mission-driven work, we'd love to hear from you!

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

CACFP Compliance & Documentation

Complete and maintain all CACFP-required documentation, including production records, portion logs, and temperature logs.
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.

Certified: You hold a Food Handler's Certification (required); a Food Manager's Certification is preferred.
Food Safety-Focused: You have a strong understanding of food safety, sanitation, and kitchen organization and take those standards seriously every single day.
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.

Ability to maintain balance while carrying trays, pans, and containers of food.
Ability to work in confined kitchen spaces with frequent movement around hot equipment and other employees.
Ability to tolerate exposure to varying temperatures, including hot kitchens, ovens, steam, freezers, and walk-in refrigerators.
Ability to work around cleaning chemicals, sanitizers, food allergens, grease, and other substances commonly found in commercial kitchens while following appropriate safety procedures.
Ability to wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), including slip-resistant footwear, gloves, aprons, hair restraints, and other protective gear as required.
