Substitute Nutrition Services

The Valley View Public School District is a dedicated educational institution that serves a wide community through its 19 schools. Committed to fostering a supportive and healthy learning environment, the District values nutrition as a key component of student well-being and academic success. The District is looking to hire part-time Nutrition Services Substitutes to assist with the food service operations across all schools when regularly assigned staff members are unavailable. These substitute positions play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and consistency of nutrition services offered to students throughout the district.

The role of a Nutrition Services Substitute in the Valley View Public School District involves stepping in to perform essential food service duties when the permanent food service employees are absent. Individuals in this position are assigned by the District Nutrition Services Office and work under the supervision of the Nutrition Services manager at the specific school they are assigned to. This role is vital in ensuring that meal preparation, food serving, kitchen cleanliness, and proper dishwashing practices continue seamlessly despite staff absences, thus supporting the school district's goal to provide nutritious meals efficiently and hygienically.

Working as a Nutrition Services Substitute is a part-time opportunity, with assignments varying based on the district's needs and availability. Typically, substitutes can expect to work between zero to five days per week, with shifts averaging 3.5 to 4.5 hours per day. Flexibility is a key aspect, as substitutes may be called upon to serve in any of the district's 19 schools. This provides an opportunity to gain varied experience within different school settings while contributing significantly to student health and nutrition.

Substitutes in this role must be physically capable of performing a range of food service tasks, including lifting up to 40 pounds. The job calls for individuals who are in good health, possess excellent customer service skills, and demonstrate strong work habits. Being a team player is essential, as the role requires collaboration with other food service staff and interaction with students and school personnel. Although this is a temporary and part-time role for substitutes, there is the potential for permanent part-time positions within the Nutrition Services department, often filled from the substitute pool.

This position does not offer benefits, and pay details are available through the Valley View Public School District's career website. The position follows the school calendar, reflecting the academic year and breaks. The district is an equal opportunity employer encouraging candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply. Interested applicants can submit their applications online through the District's official website.
