• Maintain regular communication with the Leadership Team for strategic planning and accountability.
• Collaborate with Pastoral/Community Life Coordinators to foster a strong sense of community among the sisters.
• Manage SMOL as a center of hospitality, overseeing retreats and community gatherings.
• Supervise key personnel, including the Facilities Manager, Kitchen Manager, Health & Wellness Nurse Manager, Administrative Assistant, and Peace and Spirituality Center Program Manager.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Administration, Nursing, Healthcare Management, or a related field.
• Certification in Gerontology required.
• A Master’s degree in Management, Business Administration, Healthcare Administration, or Social Work preferred.

Experience:

• Professional administrative experience in long-term healthcare, elder care, or community management.
• Experience with dementia and other mental health challenges of older adults is preferred.
• Familiarity with managing a religious congregation’s retirement facility is an asset.

Workplace Culture:

• Staff members are considered partners and collaborators, playing an integral role in daily life.
• Employees are expected to respect and support the sisters, engaging with them as individuals while maintaining professional boundaries.
• The Administrator is a servant leader, ensuring that staff feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their work effectively.
