Overview

The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia are a community of Catholic women who have committed their lives to God as followers of Saints Francis and Clare. We operate Assisi House, a 125-bed multi-level care facility for retired sisters in need of medical support and care.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Wellness Services Manager to lead our new Wellness Services Department. The Manager will supervise two Wellness Services Coordinators. Together, this team will address the wellness needs of sisters who are living independently (or independently with some services) - on campus or within the greater community - who do not require the more advanced services and medical care provided at Assisi House.

The Wellness Services Manager carries out responsibilities and interacts with all individuals in accordance with the mission and values of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia.

The Manager leads in facilitating a broad holistic program of services for sisters living independently and in small communities.

The duties of this position are accomplished through direct staff supervision of two coordinators and via collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.

The Wellness Services Manager must be flexible and able to operationalize a plan for meeting the needs of sisters as they unfold.
