Lead a kitchen that matters.
We're looking for an experienced, take-charge Food Service Director to run the kitchen at Rowan County Jail.

- Willingness to obtain food safety certification
- Food service management experience — correctional setting a plus
- Working knowledge of nutrition and dietary guidelines
- Leadership chops: clear communication and people skills
