Company Description
SECU Family House is a nonprofit organization that provides affordable lodging and support services in a caring environment for referred adult patients and/or their caregivers who travel to Winston-Salem, NC for medical treatment.
The availability of high-quality medical care in Winston-Salem brings hundreds of patients and caregivers to the area for extended periods of time. A shortage of quality, low-cost rental units leaves many families searching for a caring and safe place to rest and rejuvenate while they or their loved ones are receiving care.
SECU Family House is seeking an Executive Director to lead the organization into their next phase of growth. Their current, long-time, well-respected Executive Director is retiring in early 2026.
Job Description
The Executive Director provides strategic leadership on a day-to-day basis for the SECU Family House. The ED is responsible for the overall financial, operational, and relationship management of the SECU Family House. Working in collaboration with the Board of Directors, the ED oversees short- and long-term objectives and operations of the facilities, builds relationships with volunteers, staff, patients and guests, and maintains and cultivates relationships with community, corporate and government groups.
Current considerations of SECU Family House include how to better meet the growing demand for their services in the wake of changing Medicaid coverage and general increases in the cost of medical care.
The Executive Director will supervise the Director of Development and Director of Finance and Administration and lead a staff team of 15-20 professionals and paraprofessionals onsite at the house on Baldwin Lane in Winston-Salem.
