Description
$57,000–$62,000/year
Lead a kitchen that matters.
We're looking for an experienced, take-charge Food Service Director to run the kitchen at Rowan County Jail. You'll lead a team, manage a real budget, and make sure every meal that goes out the door is safe, on-spec, and on time. If you like ownership, structure, and knowing your work has a direct impact every single day, this is that job.
Requirements
What you'll do
- Run daily meal prep, cooking, and service from start to finish
- Keep production consistent and waste low
- Manage inventory and vendor relationships
- Own the budget for food, labor, and supplies
- Hire, train, and coach your kitchen team
- Run performance reviews and enforce safety procedures
- Lead cleanliness and food-safety inspections
- Keep accurate, audit-ready records
- Build strong working relationships with facility staff
What you bring
- Comfort working in a secure corrections environment
- Solid food prep, cooking, and food-safety knowledge
- 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
Schedule
This role requires flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed — kitchens don't stop for the calendar, and neither do we. You should be comfortable standing, lifting, and moving food supplies and equipment throughout your shift.
Why you'll want to stay
- Paid weekly — no waiting around for payday
- Paid Time Off
- Medical, dental, and vision after 60 days
- Holiday pay and paid bereavement leave
- Pregnancy and bonding leave
- 401(k) match after 6 months
- Uniform tops provided
- Tuition reimbursement
- Employee referral program
- Free $50,000 term life insurance policy
- Real internal promotion paths — we like to hire from within
This description covers the core of the role — day-to-day duties and requirements may flex a bit based on the facility's needs.
