Associate Vice President, Community Wellness Pathways

The Associate Vice President of Community Wellness Pathways (AVPCWP) is a core member of the senior leadership team reporting directly to the CEO. This role is responsible for developing and executing the organization's strategic plan to maximize JPNDC's approach to deliver proactive and tailored social impact services to assist families and individuals in need of pathways to greater stability. It is a new position created to leverage JPNDC's recent growth to improve client and resident impact across Greater Boston and the MA landscape.

As a dedicated and skilled senior professional, the AVPCWP will serve as the agency's lead supervisor for a team of roughly six Case Managers who will serve two distinct but equally important caseloads supporting JPNDC's mission. The first focus area is our Family Childcare Program (FCC), supporting priority populations including DCF-involved families, young parents under 24, and families experiencing homelessness. The second focus area is Economic Prosperity Services (EPS), delivering support to residents within JPNDC's housing portfolio and throughout the City of Boston and beyond.

Case Managers will support the delivery of case services, housing stability plans, individualized family needs assessments, facilitate tailored Family Plans, and conduct developmental evaluations.

JPNDC has a strong coalition focus which aligns with its long legacy of organizing key stakeholders. Working closely with the Program Director of Family Child Care and the Associate Vice President of Economic Prosperity Services, the AVPCWP will lead and expand on strategic partnerships within the housing, medical, health, and human services industries to partner in coalition around approaches to better define synergies between housing and proactive service delivery.

All CWP staff members are considered mandated reporters and will be supported with the requisite training as needed.
