Job Description
The School Board of Broward County, Florida, is a leading educational institution dedicated to providing quality education and support services to its extensive network of schools. Situated within this reputable and forward-thinking organization is an opportunity at Park Trails Elementary, located in Parkland, Florida. The Board is committed to fostering a supportive environment that not only promotes student achievement but also values the contributions of every staff member ensuring a collaborative community that thrives on professionalism, respect, and inclusivity. This commitment extends beyond classrooms into essential services that facilitate the smooth operation of the educational environment, including Food and Nutrition Services.
The role of Food Service General Worker at Park Trails Elementary is an essential position within the Food and Nutrition Services department. This role involves skilled work in the preparation and service of nutritionally adequate, reimbursable meals aimed at supporting the health and well-being of students and staff. The worker is entrusted with maintaining production schedules, ensuring that quality standards are met, and compliance with food safety regulations is rigorously upheld. This position offers employment that involves less than six hours per day, with an hourly wage starting at $15.84, and follows a 192-day work calendar for the school year, classified under a nonexempt status with pay grade SF1121.
In this role, the Food Service General Worker performs a variety of tasks including food preparation using standardized recipes, food service involving direct interaction with students and staff, and maintaining cleanliness and sanitation standards of the kitchen and food service areas. Key responsibilities also include operating point-of-sale systems following federal guidelines, managing inventory and ordering of food supplies, and ensuring compliance with the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) protocols which are integral to food safety. Drivers’ duties include delivering food between sites and maintaining vehicles, which requires a valid Florida driver's license. The position places a strong emphasis on exceptional customer service, professionalism, and exercising good judgment in all interactions within the school community.
This job is ideal for individuals who have prior experience in food service or cashier roles and have the ability to communicate effectively in English. The school district encourages training and professional development related to food service and nutrition to ensure that employees grow their skills and remain current with best practices. The environment is physically demanding, requiring efforts such as lifting up to 50 pounds and performing medium work activities. Employees in this position contribute directly to the mission of the school district by ensuring that nourishing meals are delivered safely and efficiently to foster student success and support school operations.
