• Ensure kitchens, dining areas, and service stations are clean, organized, and compliant with Public Health regulations and Food Safe guidelines.
• Monitor and maintain proper temperatures for coolers, freezers, and dishwashers; manage inventory; and properly store and reuse leftovers while minimizing waste.
• Identify challenges, anticipate risks, and reorganize workflows to maintain timely, safe, and efficient food service.
• Deliver excellent guest service, responding promptly to needs while maintaining a warm, professional atmosphere.
• Work most weekends during guest rentals and maintain flexibility in a seven-day workweek, with scheduled days off based on operational needs.

Spiritual Leadership & Hospitality:

• Model Christ in word, deed, and action, reflecting Joy Bible Camp’s mission, purpose, core values, and strategic plan.
• Provide spiritual guidance and mentorship to direct reports, interns, summer staff, and volunteers.
• Pray for the ministry, guests, and team, fostering a culture of faith and spiritual growth.
• Maintain Christ-like hospitality, ensuring guests experience a welcoming, respectful, and encouraging environment.

• Physically capable of lifting 50 lbs and working in temperatures ranging from 30°–100°.
• Desire to grow in culinary and supervisory skills while serving the Lord through hospitality.
• Ability to lead teams, manage volunteers, and cultivate a culture of collaboration, respect, and excellence.
• Must obtain an Ontario Food Handlers Certificate within two weeks of hire and comply with all public health regulations.
