Assistant Executive Director, Administration & Operations

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

More Than Just a Job

A Career should be much more than the pursuit of goals, wealth or the corner office. There are lives to be touched - the lost to be found, the lonely to be loved and the sick to be healed. There should be an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy that we are proud to be a part of.

This is one of those rare opportunities where professionalism and impact meet.

The Salvation Army Peacehaven Group is seeking an exceptional leader who is ready to bring their experience and skills from the marketplace into a role where your efforts improve the lives of vulnerable seniors, their families and the wider community.

This is far more than another executive appointment. It is an opportunity to serve through your leadership and skills. It is an opportunity to use your skills with purpose.
