The Role: Looking for a self-motivated, energetic staff member to work in a high volume and fast-paced kitchen. This position follows ELPS Food Service policies and procedures as related to the preparation, serving and distribution of food items and meals. This position requires standing, lifting, bending and cleaning. It should not be considered an all-inclusive listing of work requirements.

This requires physical mobility along with full understanding of sanitation practices. Training is provided.

The Food Service Department will pay for the examination. Satisfactory clearance to perform essential job functions will be required for employment. The candidate will be responsible for obtaining and paying for a fingerprint background check. SAFIS (Statewide Applicant Fingerprint Identification Services) information will be provided to the candidate and must be completed and cleared prior to employment.

Why You Should Join Our Team: East Longmeadow Public School District is committed to cultivating an environment where diverse perspectives and backgrounds are embraced, acknowledging that a team reflecting diversity of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status and veteran status allows us to serve our communities better.
