About The Position

FLIPANY is seeking a Per Diem Instructor to deliver nutrition education and interactive, hands-on food and wellness classes at community partner sites throughout South Florida, including schools, after-school centers, community centers, and city-run sites. The role is based in classrooms with youth and involves mentoring and guiding them through social-emotional learning activities and wellness experiences that encourage healthy lifestyle habits. This is an as-needed position with no guaranteed hours. Most classes are held in the morning, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, so morning availability is needed; some locations may offer afternoon classes depending on the area. Shifts are offered as classes are scheduled. The instructor travels to program sites and conducts in-person classes, typically for groups of 15–20 youth. Work takes place indoors and outdoors. The position involves physical activity and may include exposure to extreme temperatures and sunlight, noise, heights, dirt, dust, potentially hazardous chemicals, and uneven surfaces. The employee must be able to lift, carry, or push up to 50 pounds and perform tasks such as standing, walking, bending, kneeling, reaching, and handling equipment. English communication skills and the ability to use relevant equipment are required. Reasonable accommodation may be made for qualified individuals with disabilities. The role requires a Level 2 background screening through the Florida Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse. FLIPANY is a Drug Free Workplace and Equal Opportunity Employer.
