We are seeking an experienced, compassionate healthcare professional to serve as our Assistant Director/Care Manager. This is an ideal role for a nurse or medical social worker/care manager with substantial experience in senior care who can bring sound judgment, leadership, and practical skills to a mission-driven environment.

Working closely with the Healthcare Director, the successful candidate will help coordinate resident care, guide and support staff, strengthen safety and quality practices, and serve as a trusted day-to-day presence for the friars.

St. Clare Friary is a Catholic, Franciscan community. The ideal candidate will be one who understands and respects Catholic faith, Franciscan values, and prayerful community life. Candidates should be comfortable working in a religious residence.
