About The Position

The University of St. Thomas is hiring a Food Service Worker for its Dining Services Department. This is a full-time position working 12 months of the year, with a listed shift of 12:30 PM–9:00 PM. The schedule is flexible based on business needs and may include nights and weekends. The employee works directly for the University, not a food service company. The position is designated Emergency Essential, so employees may be expected to remain at work during a campus closure or report to work if a closure is announced before their scheduled shift. The role provides food-preparation support in back-of-house or front-of-house operations, including preparing customized, made-to-order menu items in a high-volume environment. The employee will prepare food throughout the shift, support culinary staff with prep sheets, set up and close down a workstation, follow ServSafe food-handling guidelines, and maintain a clean workstation. A successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to the University's mission and ideals.
