What You'll Do: The Food Service and Nutrition Coordinator is a critical member of the program team, providing critical nutrition support and health/safety measures so that all the children and youth at USES are provided daily breakfast, lunch and snack. Under the supervision of the Director of Operations, the Food Service and Nutrition Coordinator is responsible for all aspects of the food-service program including the management of kitchen sanitary and safety, food and supply inventory management, nutrition and menu planning, as well as customer service and support to the entire organization.
USES operates year around including an Early Childhood Education program serving 65 children ages 3 months to 6 years old a complete breakfast, lunch, and snack daily. Snack is also provided to the 60 out-of-school time youth (club48 serving ages 5-12) during the school year plus breakfast and lunch on any school vacation weeks and the entire summer. The Food Service and Nutrition Coordinator is the key staff member leading the purchasing, preparation, and delivery of this critical component to our programs.
USES is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.
