October 17, 2023
 
Prince George County Public Schools is actively seeking candidates who enjoy serving the needs of children in their community while working in a team-oriented environment to apply for openings in the division's Food & Nutritional Services Department. 
 
The department is currently hiring part-time food service assistants at several of our campuses, including North Elementary School, Middle Road Elementary School, and J.E.J. Moore Middle School. To apply, visit the division’s jobs portal at https://pgs.tedk12.com/hire/index.aspx.
 
School nutrition employees play an essential role in the lives of children. According to the Food Research and Action Center, studies have consistently shown breakfast and lunch programs aid in "alleviating food insecurity and poverty" for the children they serve. These programs also provide the nutrients students need for growth, development, learning, and overall health, especially for the nation's most vulnerable children and adolescents.

  • Free lunch (and breakfast for those positions that begin early in the morning)
  • Flexible schedules with time-off for holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break
  • Food Service Assistants start at $13.07 per hour, with school nutrition employees working approximately 180 days per year.
