Chief Financial Officer
JFS is looking for a motivated Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer is accountable for the ethical administrative, financial, and risk management operations of the organization, to include the development of a financial and operational strategy, metrics tied to that strategy, and the ongoing development and monitoring of control systems designed to preserve assets of the organization and report accurate financial results.
Care Manager
JFS Care Managers are professional Social Workers who work with a variety of people, many are older adults or adults with disabilities and their families. Most Care Management clients are facing life changing transitions or events and need help with care coordination, accessing needed services, and impartial guidance to address challenging issues or make complex decisions.
The Care Manager begins working with a new client by having a thorough conversation with them, answering their questions and providing them with detailed information. They do a comprehensive assessment of the client’s needs and situation and develop an individual services plan for them with goals and interventions based on the comprehensive analysis and the client’s own goals and preferences. No two Care Management clients are the same and the Care Manager is challenged to discover new resources in the community and to be creative in meeting the needs of each of their clients as they work with them.
Current JFS Care Managers find their work quite rewarding, “I love learning about the lives of my clients, through many years, many experiences and many cultures.” There is a lot of autonomy in the position but a lot of responsibility as you are setting your clients up for success in the future. Being a Care Manager is an opportunity to work holistically with the client and their family. The family members recognize the challenges of working with their loved one and show their appreciation for the work the Care Manager does.
