Executive Director

Position Overview

The Methow Valley Family Home Center Association, also known as Jamie’s Place, is an adult family home where elders, with the support of family, community, and caregivers, can enjoy meaningful lives with dignity and grace. Rather than focusing on limitations, our approach supports retained abilities, autonomy, and participation in daily life — allowing elders to remain active contributors within their home and community.

Jamie’s Place is expanding to achieve our vision of meeting the long-term care needs of all Methow Valley elders and preparing the next generation of caregivers. Our long-range plan includes a new facility in Twisp, Washington that will double our capacity, create 30 new caregiver jobs, and serve as a training hub to support relationship-centered elder care throughout the Methow Valley.

Development of the expansion project is advancing quickly - construction for the new facility is underway and Jamie’s Place has raised $21M toward our $24M expansion goal.

Jamie’s Place is located in the Methow Valley, a place of extraordinary natural beauty with an extraordinarily caring community, in North Central Washington. The thriving local business community includes people working in construction, ranching, outdoor sporting and tourism. The valley is located on the eastern slope of the North Cascades, just outside of the North Cascades National Park. The nearest metropolitan areas are Seattle and Spokane, each about four hours away.

The 501(c)(3) organization employs 22 full- and part-time staff members currently and operates with a $1.6 million annual budget. Jamie’s Place is poised for a vibrant future and continued impact and success.

Jamie’s Place is seeking an Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer to join the organization to continue building upon its success while further developing the organization for sustained impact in the Methow Valley. Jamie’s Place seeks an individual who is a proven leader, with energy, experience, and the passion needed to continue to advance the organization’s strategic, long-range goals and lead our exciting expansion project.

The candidate should demonstrate the skills needed to carry out the organization’s long-range strategic plan and emerging strategic initiatives; lead the operation and staff in scaling up and operationalizing our expanded operations and programs; attract and manage funds to secure the financial health of the organization during and beyond a period of strategic growth and change; and build and maintain effective relationships across Jamie’s Place’s multi-dimensional organization of professional health care staff, engaged volunteer leaders, and valued stakeholders of our community.
