Kids Chef
Love cooking and working with kids? Join our team at Hudson Table! We are an interactive culinary studio and event space looking for a talented Chef to teach hands-on cooking classes for kids ages 2–17 throughout the year. This is a flexible, year-round role that includes after-school cooking series, holiday and school-break classes, and birthday parties — with the opportunity to also join our summer camp team (June–August).
Schedule:
Classes run throughout the year and formats vary:
After-school series – weekday afternoons, running as multi-week semester series
Holiday & school-break classes – single classes or short intensives on school holidays and in-service days, generally daytime hours
Birthday parties – typically booked on weekends
Summer camp – Monday–Friday, June 15–August 21, staff hours 8:30am–4pm, camper hours 10am–3:15pm
Availability needed varies by season — some instructors work a few classes a month, others take on a full weekly slate plus parties. We'll work with you to build a schedule that fits. Some weekend availability is a must.
Teaching experience, especially with children, is a plus. Must have 2+ years of kitchen experience or have attended culinary school.
Compensation: Pay varies by class type and length (single classes, multi-week series, birthday parties, camp days), plus tips.
Responsibilities include:
Lead hands-on culinary classes and parties for children in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate manner
Teach pre-developed lesson plans and recipes while maintaining pacing and structure
Demonstrate proper cooking techniques, kitchen safety, and sanitation standards
Supervise and support kids during food prep, cooking, and cleanup

Adapt instruction to accommodate varying ages and skill levels, from young beginners to more advanced teens
Assist with setup and breakdown of classes and parties, including equipment and ingredients
Uphold company policies, food safety guidelines, and child safety protocols
