Additionally, it received the highest number of high-performing honors in the 2024-2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospital Rankings for South Florida.

What truly differentiates Baptist Health is its people.

Employees often share experiences with the patients they serve, cultivating empathy and a deep commitment to quality care. This culture of purpose and mutual respect encourages every team member to contribute meaningfully towards positive health outcomes.

The Food Production Supervisor role at Baptist Health is integral to maintaining the high standards of food service that the organization is known for.

The supervisor will also act as a role model and trainer for staff in practicing excellent food handling, safety, and sanitation principles. This role requires initiative, attention to detail, and strong communication and interpersonal skills to coordinate effectively with other departments and team members.

This is a full-time position offering an estimated pay range between $18.30 and $18.32 per hour, depending on experience.
