Food Server

Description

Fuel Great Connections

Come work in a group of Reno/Sparks child care centers that support not only the development of children in our care but also the success of our staff.

As a server in our early learning center, you'll work independently and as part of a team to serve meals and snacks for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers aged 6 weeks to five years. You'll focus on their nutritional needs by:

• plating healthy and appealing meals guided by a preplanned menu,
• washing and sanitizing dishes and equipment including baby bottles,
• and assisting in classrooms as needed, participating in the children's activities and play.

You’ll also get support from a full and engaged admin team, including a behavior specialist dedicated to each center and directors that don't hesitate to roll up their sleeves and change a diaper or to address incidents and behavior with parents.

These are some of the additional things you will do working with infants and toddlers in our early learning centers:

• Receive, label, rotate, and stock all ingredients in the cupboards, freezer or refrigerator.
• Wash, chop, and sort ingredients like fruits and vegetables, as needed.
• Assist with daily sanitization of classroom toys and equipment.
• Complete a variety of professional development courses, including courses on nutrition and child development.
• Maintain the safety of our children and staff, and ensure an optimal experience for all.

In exchange, our centers offer extensive benefits:

• Part time employees are enrolled for complimentary TeleHealth Advocacy health services.
• When we say we fuel great connections and build great futures, we dont just mean for the students; as a member of our ELC team, youll strengthen your future as well through annual tuition reimbursement, the TEACH program, assistance with getting a CDA, and a 7% pension plan.
• Part time employees are also eligible for PTO.
• Free or reduced cost child care is also offered, subject to availability.
• Pay starts at $14/hour up to $15/hour, depending on full-time/part-time status, experience, and education.

This is what your day could look like as a cook with our early learning centers:

• This role is part time, with somewhat flexible part time scheduling. We always aim for consistent schedules for our staff to promote work-life balance.
• Our locations are open Monday through Friday, from 6:30am to 6pm. The typical shifts is:
  • 7:30am to 1pm or 8am to 1:30pm.
• We have five locations throughout Reno/Sparks, and while staff are assigned to one location, reliable transportation to all sites is preferred. This opening is for a position at our location at 1270 Foster Drive.

Qualifications

We have a great team that can teach you skills on the job, but there are some actions and goals that will make you more successful as an Early Learning Center cook.

• You know that child care settings have more to do than educate, so you greet each child by name.
• You are a great listener and can't wait to learn new ways to do things.
• You respect your team and communicate when you are experiencing difficulty meeting responsibilities.
• You want to do more than just work; you want a role that gives back and supports the community.
• You believe that uniqueness should be celebrated and support including all persons, regardless of background or beliefs.

When you apply, we will do our best to maintain a prompt hiring process with the following steps:

• Application review (A complete application is required to move forward.)
• Phone screen following complete, qualified application
• Interview scheduled following qualified phone screen
• Final decision made within three business days of interview

As part of our commitment to child and member safety, there are some additional steps that all hires will be asked to complete.

• You will need to provide 3 references. These references should be professional references, but references from non-family members over the age of 18 who can speak to your character and professionalism can be substituted in the absence of work experience.
• You will also be asked to complete a drug screen (which does not include THC), background check, and fingerprint check.

We have a commitment to being GREAT.

At our Early Learning Centers, you'll have the opportunity to lead a great life, inspired by GREAT values: Generosity, Respect, Encouragement, Accountability, and Trustworthiness. The Early Learning Centers are committed to practicing those values to create places where every child feels safe and connected--a place to belong and a place to become--and a fun, positive work environment where you can be sure you're making a difference.
