Whitsons is hiring a Food Service Worker for the Boxford Spofford Pond School Nutrition team. The role supports school meal service by preparing, portioning, and serving meals to students and staff, maintaining kitchen and serving areas, and following food safety and sanitation procedures. The worker helps create a positive, welcoming mealtime experience and contributes to a healthy school day. The position is based primarily at the school site and follows the facility’s food service schedule.

The noise level may be moderate to loud during meal service. The role requires the ability to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds, including while turning side to side.
