Resource Specialist, Springwell, Inc., Waltham, MA

Posted August 18, 2015

Springwell is seeking a Resource Specialist to create and maintain information on local resources for seniors living in Springwell’s metro-west service area.

Company Profile

At Springwell, we are serious about our mission. For more than 37 years, our staff has worked to help ensure that seniors and individuals with disabilities have the village they need and the support that is necessary for them to live at home with dignity and independence.

We are also serious about our employees. We are focused on creating a supportive, open environment that values the people who make a difference – each, and every member of our staff.

We believe in:

Accountability: At every level of the organization we are accountable: to the people we serve, to our funders, to our employees, to community professionals who rely on our support.

Continuous Quality Improvement: We honor the fact that each of us is human, and we embrace a desire to examine the value and quality of our work and ask how we can provide a higher quality of service.

Transparency: While we don’t claim to be 100% transparent (there are certain things, like salaries and performance evaluations that are private) we continuously strive to be as open as possible.

Balance: Life is a give and take, as is work. We are always examining that balance. Today, we have yoga classes on-site twice a week. We are exploring offering a Weight Watchers meeting. And afternoon meditation is under consideration. If there is a holiday to celebrate we have a party. This year, we built a dedicated lactation room for new moms. We are committed to listening to our staff, and examining and re-balancing our work environment.

Position Description:

This newly created position will create and maintain resource information that our agency will share with the over 8,000 elders and caregivers who call us for information each year. Exciting opportunity to design and develop electronic and written material, to organize a lending library, and to help our staff provide up-to-date, accurate, helpful info.

We offer: excellent working environment that is awash in natural light, supportive co-workers, leadership that believes in taking risks, learning from mistakes and moving forward. And of course lots of paid time off and the other usual benefits.

Qualifications:

Must haves: love of information (searching for it, organizing it, sharing it), a creative style that can develop handouts, a keen need to help others, sense of humor, outgoing personality and a Bachelor’s degree.
