It is preferred, however, that the applicant have high standards of personal hygiene and sanitation, basic math skills with the ability to exchange currency. The Cafeteria Substitute position is an hourly position that works an average of 3.5 hours per day and works on an as needed basis at a variety of school sites. The employee is required to accept daily assignments (via telephone calling system), traveling to various schools sites.
The position currently pays $8.75/hour and is not benefit eligible. The working hours are normally anywhere from 8 to 11 a.m. in the morning to 1 to 2 p.m. in the afternoon. This position will only be able to work when schools are in session.
