Job Description

Whittier City School District is a dedicated educational organization serving Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade students across multiple schools including eight elementary schools, two middle schools, one K-8 school, and two virtual learning academies. With a community of approximately 6,300 students, the district plays a pivotal role in shaping young minds who eventually continue their education in the Whittier Union High School District. The district is committed to providing innovative and advanced technology programs such as 1:1 device initiatives and Apple TV integrations, supporting an engaging and effective learning environment for all students. In addition to core academic programs, Whittier City School District is actively involved in special education through its participation in a local Special Education Cooperative (SELPA), ensuring that students with special needs receive appropriate and tailored support. This commitment extends to the arts as well, with visual and performing arts programs including music and art teachers available at every school, nurturing creativity alongside academic achievement. The district's guiding principle, "Students First. Every Decision - Every Day," encapsulates its focus on student welfare and educational excellence.

The role offered within this context is a Food Service Worker position under the supervision of the Director of Food Services. This role is essential in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and sanitary conditions of the food service facilities and equipment. Responsibilities include assisting in the preparation, setting up, serving, and selling of food items which contribute to the smooth operation of school meal programs. The Food Service Worker will contribute significantly to the overall student experience by ensuring meals are prepared and served efficiently and hygienically. The position demands physical stamina as it involves frequently lifting or moving objects weighing 25 to 50 pounds, standing or walking for extended periods, and handling food service equipment skillfully. The ideal candidate will be capable of working quickly and efficiently while following oral and written instructions and maintaining cooperative relationships with colleagues and supervisors. While no prior experience or formal education is required, candidates must have valid transportation, including a California Driver's License and proof of automobile insurance upon hiring. This employment opportunity offers a chance to be part of a forward-thinking school district that values teamwork, student nutrition, and community support. The role supports the daily provision of nutritious meals to students, playing a vital part in their health and academic success, all within a progressive and inclusive educational environment that promotes equity and diversity.
