What is extra help?

Extra Help positions are temporary or part-time jobs typically offered by organizations, such as government agencies or educational institutions, to assist with increased workloads or to cover short-term staffing needs. These roles do not usually come with the same benefits or job security as full-time positions and may have a set limit on the number of hours that can be worked. Extra Help employees support regular staff in a variety of tasks and are often hired for their flexibility and ability to quickly adapt to different assignments.

How does the extra help role typically fit within a team, and what can I expect in terms of collaboration and supervision?

As an Extra Help employee, you are usually brought on to support regular staff during periods of high demand, special projects, or when temporary absences occur. You will often work closely with full-time team members and receive direction from a supervisor or lead, who will assign tasks based on immediate needs. The work environment is collaborative, and clear communication is essential to ensure you understand shifting priorities. This role offers valuable exposure to different departments and can be a great way to gain experience and build professional relationships within the organization.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as extra help, and why are they important?

To thrive in an Extra Help position, you typically need a high school diploma or equivalent, basic organizational skills, and the ability to quickly learn new tasks. Familiarity with office software, data entry systems, or equipment relevant to the specific department may be required. Strong communication, reliability, and flexibility are valuable soft skills for adapting to various assignments and working with diverse teams. These skills ensure that Extra Help employees can efficiently support operations, fill staffing gaps, and contribute to a productive workplace.

What is the difference between Extra Help vs Substitute Teacher?

AspectExtra HelpSubstitute Teacher
CredentialsVaries; often no formal certification requiredState certification or license typically required
Work EnvironmentTemporary, short-term assignments in various settingsTemporary teaching in classrooms when regular teachers are absent
Employer & Industry UsageSchool districts, educational institutions for support rolesSchool districts, public and private schools
Search & Comparison IntentPeople looking for flexible, short-term school support rolesIndividuals seeking temporary classroom teaching opportunities

Extra Help roles generally involve short-term, flexible support positions within schools, often with minimal certification requirements. Substitute Teachers specifically fill in for absent teachers and usually need state certification. While both work in educational settings, Extra Help roles are broader and may include various support tasks, whereas Substitute Teachers focus on classroom instruction during teacher absences.

Job description

Extra Help Culinary Art Assistant

Lane County Youth Services is accepting applications for an Extra Help Culinary Art Assistant to support Nutrition Services for justice-involved youth. Nutrition Services prepares approximately 30,000 meals and snacks each year for youth in the 32-bed detention program and those participating in education and work crew activities through the Martin Luther King Jr. Education Center.

The Culinary Art Assistant supports meal and snack preparation, campus and community catering, and garden, greenhouse, and culinary education activities. The position works directly with youth, using food preparation and culinary programming as opportunities to build skills, responsibility, and positive connections.

This position fosters positive youth development through guidance and mentoring of youth participating in culinary education programs while helping maintain a safe and secure Nutrition Services environment within the detention facility. The role may require verbal de-escalation and, when necessary, physical intervention in crisis situations involving youth experiencing violent or dysregulated behavior.

The Youth Services Division operates 24/7, has approximately 65 full-time staff, six program units, and is located in three different buildings on the John Serbu Youth Campus in Eugene, Oregon. The division is comprised of the following units:

  • Administration: Division planning and management, data, grants administration, information systems, and administrative support.
  • Juvenile Department: Screening, assessment, diversion, and probation services.
  • Detention: 16-bed detention facility, and 16-bed secure treatment detention program serving youth ages 12-19, including youth being held on adult criminal charges, and health services (medical, dental, mental health, and psychiatric) for youth.
  • Clinical Services: Clinical outpatient and youth and family skills support.
  • Martin Luther King (MLK) Education Center: A collaboration between the division and Lane Education Service District (Lane ESD).
  • Nutrition Services: Provides approximately 30,000 meals and snacks per year to youth housed in Detention and youth in school and on vocational crews at and through the MLK Education Center.

The work of the division is complex and covers multiple, diverse subject matter areas, governed by multiple regulatory bodies and requiring specialized knowledge. The division is deeply focused on cultivating a positive workplace culture and addressing long standing structural and cultural deficits. If you are driven to serve youth and families, this is the job for you!

Schedule: Shift will vary based on operational needs.

*This is a non-represented position*

*Extra Help employees may work up to a maximum of 520 hours per fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027.
