A COVER LETTER IS REQUIRED.

Be the Heart of the Building.

At CJE Senior Life, we believe aging is a time for connection, dignity, and purpose. The Delighter/Winston Center for Aging Well is more than an office: it’s a welcoming hub where older adults receive guidance, support, and compassionate care.

We’re looking for an Operations & Administrative Coordinator who thrives in a dynamic environment and takes pride in making everything and everyone feel supported and appreciated.

If you are calm under pressure, highly organized, service-minded, and genuinely enjoy working with older adults, this may be the role for you.

Pay: $50-55k.

Schedule:

Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

Union status:
Dues-paying membership in Service Employees International Union Local 73 is a condition of employment.
