· Adjust lessons to reflect participants’ cultures, dietary needs, and comfort levels
· Track attendance and feedback, and support with stories and data for reports
· Keep program info up to date and help with online registration
· Work occasional evenings and weekends based on program needs
Qualifications:
· Experience teaching basic cooking skills like chopping, measuring, and using different techniques
· Strong grasp of Canada’s Food Guide and how to apply it to real-life situations
· Confident speaking to groups and leading both in-person and virtual sessions
· Experience working in communities, especially where food insecurity is a concern
· Good communication skills and a supportive, inclusive approach
· Physically able to lift, bend, and be on your feet for most of the day
· Valid G-class driver’s license and a reliable vehicle
· Clear Vulnerable Sector Check
· Flexible availability, including evenings and weekends
Assets:
· A diploma or degree in culinary arts, nutrition, community work, or a similar field
· Safe Food Handling certification
· First Aid or Peer Health Worker training
This role is a great match for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact through food. If you care about people, community, and building skills that last a lifetime, we’d love to hear from you.
