On-Call Kitchen Prep Helper Needed

What’s involved

A kitchen in a high-security Lower Manhattan building needs a reliable assistant to help with food prep, cleaning, and general kitchen upkeep alongside the chef. This is temporary/part-time, on-call work — hours vary week to week depending on coverage needed, averaging somewhere around 15 to 35 hours. Pay is $25/hour on the books (W2), paid weekly on Fridays, with a 5-hour minimum on any day you're called in, and time-and-a-half if you go over 40 hours in a week. A few must-haves because of the building's security: you need to be authorized to work in the U.S., have a valid, unexpired photo ID with you on-site at all times, and be willing to go through a background check every 6 to 12 months if the assignment runs that long. You'll also need to speak Spanish and have some prior experience prepping food and assisting a chef in a working kitchen. If that fits, send a resume with relevant kitchen experience.
