Job Description
Please note: This is a part-time position, perfect for college students. We are not currently seeking full-time applicants. No sales or multi-level marketing involved. Do you love kids and have a passion for food? No teaching experience? No problem — we'll train you. This might be the most fun job you've ever had! At Chefsville, we run hands-on cooking programs and preschool classes at schools and day care centers all over North Dallas. As an Assistant Instructor, you'll work side by side with a Lead Instructor, helping a room full of kids crack their first egg, taste something brand new, and walk out proud of what they made. You bring the enthusiasm — we'll bring the recipes, the lesson plans, and the training. Why You'll Love Working with
Chefsville No Experience Required:

Grow:
Many of our Lead Instructors started exactly here. Show up, learn the ropes, and there's a clear path to leading your own classroom at a higher rate of pay.
Real Skills You'll Actually Use:
Classroom management, public speaking, food safety, working with kids from Pre-K to middle school — the kind of experience that stands out on an education, childcare, nutrition, or culinary résumé.
Fun & Rewarding Work:
After-school classes, summer camps, birthday parties, scouting programs — no two days look the same, and you get to make a real impact. What You'll Do Assist the Lead Instructor in running fun, hands-on cooking and food-art classes for kids. Help set up and pack down each class — stations, supplies, ingredients, and cleanup. Work directly with small groups of children, helping them measure, mix, and stay on task. Keep an eye on safety — handwashing, allergies, safe tool handling, and knowing where every child is. Travel to different schools and program locations for your scheduled classes. Help with administrative tasks if you're looking for morning or evening hours. Bring good energy and help create a positive, exciting environment for kids, tweens, and teens. We're Looking for
Someone Who:

Can pass a criminal background check and fingerprinting process. Is friendly, organized, and communicates well with kids and adults alike. Is able to lift up to 40 pounds.
