Job Description

Amergis, formerly known as Maxim Healthcare Staffing, is a well-established staffing company that has been serving clients and communities since 1988. The organization prides itself on connecting people with meaningful work opportunities in various sectors including healthcare, government facilities, and educational institutions. With a vast network of professionals ready to work, Amergis emphasizes partnership and innovation to deliver unparalleled staffing experiences and tailored workforce solutions. Its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is reflected through its status as an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, ensuring that all qualified candidates receive fair consideration regardless of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic by law.

The current opening at Amergis is for a School Cafeteria Food Service Worker position in the Encinitas School District. This role is contract-based, running through the end of the school year, with a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week from Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM. The pay rate is competitive at $21.00 per hour.

This Food Service Worker position is designed for individuals who thrive in fast-paced, large kitchen environments and enjoy contributing to a positive and efficient school cafeteria setting. The primary responsibilities involve dishwashing, maintaining cleanliness of kitchen equipment, general cleaning and sanitation of kitchen and cafeteria areas, food preparation and assembly, assisting with various large-scale kitchen duties, and adhering strictly to food safety and sanitation guidelines. This role is essential in ensuring that both students and staff have a hygienic and enjoyable dining experience.

Ideal candidates will have a High School Diploma or equivalent and hold a valid Food Handler's Certificate, which is a mandatory requirement for application consideration. While previous food service or cafeteria experience is preferred, it is not a strict prerequisite. The ability to work on one’s feet for extended periods, follow directions accurately, and maintain cleanliness standards are critical for success in this position.

Amergis not only provides competitive pay but also offers a range of benefits, including health, dental, vision, and life insurance, a 401(k) savings plan, and awards and recognition programs. Benefit eligibility is dependent on employment status. To apply, candidates should send their most up-to-date resume to the specified email addresses. Amergis values its employees as the heart of the organization and supports them through comprehensive benefits and a commitment to a positive work environment.
