HHS is a private, family-owned business dedicated to caring for its team members and providing honest, quality-driven customer service. Founded in 1975 as Hospital Housekeeping Systems, today HHS provides services including housekeeping, food, and facility management to nearly 1,000 customers across six industries. The company is growing rapidly and is seeking motivated leaders to join for the next stage of its journey.

We are looking for a friendly, compassionate leader to join our culinary team.

This leadership role combines culinary skills with business acumen and interpersonal communication to effectively support the team and company goals. The offered salary is $70,000 annually, reflecting the seniority and responsibility of the role. If you have a passion for food, a commitment to continuous improvement, and want to work in a supportive healthcare environment, this is an excellent opportunity for professional and personal growth.
