Enrich the lives of Jewish students by joining Texas Hillel as Director of Community Care & Wellbeing. In this innovative and distinctive role, you will lead with vision in continuing our efforts to center students’ wellbeing in all of our work by providing community care and case management, and acting as a resource for staff and students. We see care for the whole person as a fully integrated component of our responsibility to nurture Jewish community. Our intentional dedication to student wellness has become a hallmark of Texas Hillel’s culture.
The Director of Community Care & Wellbeing will build an engagement strategy that enfranchises students around their personal well being, work with student leadership, colleagues, and University partners in developing comprehensive wellness strategies, and interface with our Hillel therapist to promote access to clinical services. While this role will include a certain amount of “triage”, it is not a counseling role. Under your leadership, Texas Hillel will incorporate work with mindfulness, stress management, personal growth, and more within an intentionally Jewish framework. You will also take point on crisis management to ensure that students have timely access to appropriate resources.
You will thrive in this role if you are enthusiastic about realizing vision, leveraging strategic campus partnerships, and applying your skills and passion to our specialized setting, serving a burgeoning Jewish community on a premier college campus. The Director of Community Care & Wellbeing is a member of our senior staff, as well as the Jewish Student Life team, and reports to the Executive Director.
