Chief Executive Officer Jobs in USA at Jewish Family Service of Seattle, Washington
Job Title: Chief Executive Officer
Jewish Family Service of Seattle
Seattle, Washington
Jewish Family Service of Seattle (JFS) is a 120-year-old non-profit organization providing professional social services of the highest caliber in the Greater Seattle region. In 1892, a group of local Jewish women laid the groundwork for today’s Jewish Family Service. Their concerns were homelessness, hunger and unemployment in the Seattle Jewish community. In all their wisdom, they never envisioned dealing with the myriad of other social service issues that are front and center today: domestic violence, substance abuse, parents being isolated, or children being neglected.
Today people from a variety of backgrounds walk through the doors of JFS. The young, the old, parents and grandparents, refugees from foreign lands, people with disabilities, the poor, and the privileged — they all come to JFS for professional, passionate and compassionate assistance in meeting their needs or the chance to help others.
The mission of JFS is to deliver essential human services to alleviate suffering, sustain healthy relationships and support people in times of need. The work of JFS is guided by the values of Jewish tradition of repairing the world; JFS is committed to treating people with dignity and compassion, providing culturally relevant services, helping people help themselves, reflecting the changing face of the community, and collaborating with others to broaden their reach.
With five offices in the Puget Sound area, a budget of $9M, a staff of over 200 and literally hundreds of volunteers, JFS served over 12,500 clients last year. A 19,000-square-foot building was recently constructed, creating a centrally located campus designed specifically to meet the needs of clients, volunteers, staff and the greater community — holistically, comfortably and reliably. The building is designed to be as eco-friendly as possible and is certified LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver. Inscribed on the new building is the quote from Hillel: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And when I am for myself, what am I? -- If not now, when?” This describes the commitment and tenor of JFS of Seattle’s historical and ongoing commitment to its clients.
Offering services that cover a lifespan, JFS provides support for times of crisis, for everyday challenges, and in times of change.
HomeCare Associates is an innovative, state licensed, in-home care program that responds to the evolving needs of those who are homebound by providing personal care, homemaker and companion services that allow older adults to live independently for as long as possible.
Youth and Children’s Services are offered for children and youth who need extra support, guidance and attention to navigate the challenges of growing up. To meet this goal, School Counseling, Single Parent Programs, Big Pal/Little Pals, Emergency Services, Kids’ Club, Summer Camp Scholarships and Foster Family Recruitment programs are offered through JFS.
The Family Life Education (FLE) program offers information, support and connections for all family life issues. FLE allows people to address needs before they become more intensive.
The Emergency Services department offers emergency financial assistance, emergency housing, food bank resources, and case management services to support those with the most critical needs in the community in times of crisis.
As a long standing partner with the Seattle Human Services Department; the JFS Polack Food Bank serves people of all backgrounds and denominations as well as providing kosher food for those in the Jewish community who request it. A grant from the City of Seattle Human Services Department helps fund monthly home delivery of groceries to frail elderly and adults with disabilities who have nowhere else to turn.
The Domestic Violence Outreach, Response and Advocacy (DVORA) project provides support and advocacy to Jewish women and their families impacted by domestic violence.
The Refugee Services program serves refugees through their resettlement process offering case management, employment assistance and ESL classes. JFS’s great reputation for resettlement services has led to expansion of services and funding throughout the region.
The Seattle Association for Jews with Disabilities (SAJD) provides skilled, compassionate, supported living services for people with developmental disabilities, persistent mental illness and brain injuries.
Volunteer Services engage hundreds of volunteers providing thousands of hours of support. JFS customizes and creates meaningful volunteer opportunities that serve not only the agency and its clients, but the volunteers as well.
The JFS Board launched the Family Matters Campaign in 2006 to deepen the impact of existing programs and to address previously unmet needs. The campaign raised about $26 million between 2007 and 2012 making it possible to expand addiction recovery services, a food delivery program, after hours crisis support, hiring a Russian speaking staff person, as well as increasing services for seniors and the LBGT community.
JFS is an integral part of the Seattle community; its services are woven into the fabric of the city and region. Their reputation goes beyond the Seattle area; readers of JTNews voted JFS the “Best local Jewish Organization” for five consecutive years, and was also voted “Best Place to Volunteer,” “Best Food Bank” and “Best Counseling Services.”
THE POSITION

Offering services that cover a lifespan, JFS provides support for times of crisis, for everyday challenges, and in times of change.
HomeCare Associates is an innovative, state licensed, in-home care program that responds to the evolving needs of those who are homebound by providing personal care, homemaker and companion services that allow older adults to live independently for as long as possible.
Youth and Children’s Services are offered for children and youth who need extra support, guidance and attention to navigate the challenges of growing up. To meet this goal, School Counseling, Single Parent Programs, Big Pal/Little Pals, Emergency Services, Kids’ Club, Summer Camp Scholarships and Foster Family Recruitment programs are offered through JFS.
The Family Life Education (FLE) program offers information, support and connections for all family life issues. FLE allows people to address needs before they become more intensive.
The Emergency Services department offers emergency financial assistance, emergency housing, food bank resources, and case management services to support those with the most critical needs in the community in times of crisis.
As a long standing partner with the Seattle Human Services Department; the JFS Polack Food Bank serves people of all backgrounds and denominations as well as providing kosher food for those in the Jewish community who request it. A grant from the City of Seattle Human Services Department helps fund monthly home delivery of groceries to frail elderly and adults with disabilities who have nowhere else to turn.
The Domestic Violence Outreach, Response and Advocacy (DVORA) project provides support and advocacy to Jewish women and their families impacted by domestic violence.
The Refugee Services program serves refugees through their resettlement process offering case management, employment assistance and ESL classes. JFS’s great reputation for resettlement services has led to expansion of services and funding throughout the region.
The Seattle Association for Jews with Disabilities (SAJD) provides skilled, compassionate, supported living services for people with developmental disabilities, persistent mental illness and brain injuries.
Volunteer Services engage hundreds of volunteers providing thousands of hours of support. JFS customizes and creates meaningful volunteer opportunities that serve not only the agency and its clients, but the volunteers as well.
The JFS Board launched the Family Matters Campaign in 2006 to deepen the impact of existing programs and to address previously unmet needs. The campaign raised about $26 million between 2007 and 2012 making it possible to expand addiction recovery services, a food delivery program, after hours crisis support, hiring a Russian speaking staff person, as well as increasing services for seniors and the LBGT community.
JFS is an integral part of the Seattle community; its services are woven into the fabric of the city and region. Their reputation goes beyond the Seattle area; readers of JTNews voted JFS the “Best local Jewish Organization” for five consecutive years, and was also voted “Best Place to Volunteer,” “Best Food Bank” and “Best Counseling Services.”
