Englewood Schools stands out with its dedication to nurturing a collaborative community where employees can thrive professionally and personally. This commitment is reflected in its comprehensive benefits package and adherence to inclusive workplace policies, ensuring equal opportunity for all candidates.
The Nutrition Services Manager position at Charles Hay World School offers a fulfilling opportunity to lead and innovate within the school's culinary services. This non-exempt role involves a 176-day work year with a schedule from 6:00 am to 2:30 pm, Monday through Friday, allowing for a balanced work-life alignment. The starting hourly rate ranges from $20.25 to $22.92, depending on education and related job experience, complemented by eligibility for benefits which include medical, dental, vision insurance, and more.
In this pivotal role, the Nutrition Services Manager will be responsible for maintaining a state-of-the-art culinary experience that ensures the preparation and delivery of nutritious, appealing meals to support student learning and health. The role involves overseeing all aspects of the nutrition program, including compliance with USDA, Colorado Department of Education, and district policies. The manager will lead efforts to plan menus that are flavorful, nutritious, and compliant with national school lunch standards, creating a positive impact on students' dietary habits.
Leadership and mentorship are key components, as the manager will recruit, hire, train, schedule, supervise, and evaluate site staff, fostering a productive and motivated team. Collaboration with various stakeholders including parents, interns, mentors, and community members is essential to promote healthier meal choices and enhance customer service excellence across the program.
