Nutrition Cook
About The Position
As our Nutrition Cook in Martin, SD, you’ll help fuel participants with meals that are appealing, safe, and nutritionally on target. This full-time role exists to keep daily meal service running smoothly while meeting program standards. Your day kicks off with a quick look at the menu and a fast check that the kitchen is set for success. You’ll move through prep and service with a steady rhythm—keeping an eye on timing, presentation, and a clean workspace. Between meal periods, you’ll update logs, reset the space, and stay a step ahead by checking stock and planning for upcoming needs. You’ll also connect with volunteers and teammates to keep the flow upbeat and organized. By day’s end, everything is cleaned, secured, and ready for the next round—because tomorrow’s impact starts with today’s finish.
