North Idaho College Head Start is looking for a Center Cook in Sandpoint who takes pride in creating healthy, welcoming mealtimes for children ages 3-5. In this role, you'll do more than prepare food-you'll help create positive experiences that support children's health, development, and learning while partnering with families and staff to strengthen our Head Start community.

You will prepare and serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks using standardized menus and family-style meal service while following nutrition and sanitation requirements. You'll shop for food and supplies, make thoughtful purchasing decisions to maximize the food budget, and maintain food inventories, budgets, and required nutrition and meal-service documentation. You'll coordinate special diets and food allergies with families, staff, and nutrition consultants while maintaining a clean, safe, and sanitary kitchen, food preparation, and storage environment.

You'll partner with education staff to provide hands-on nutrition education and food preparation activities for children and model healthy eating and positive mealtime behavior.

We're looking for someone with strong customer service and interpersonal skills, working knowledge of computer software and data collection systems, and a positive, child-centered approach to early childhood development, health, and social services. Professional ethics, confidentiality, organization, teamwork, flexibility, attention to sanitation and food safety, and the ability to represent Head Start positively and professionally are essential. Help nourish young minds, one meal at a time.
