Mennonite Services Northwest (MSNW) is recruiting for an Administrator to provide leadership to the Macdonald Residence ALF in Portland, Oregon. Everyone deserves a home, and a community, where they are valued, cared for and supported to live their most independent and fulfilling lives. All of the Macdonald Residence residents have specific needs and often a history of challenging behavioral health and addictions. As the Administrator of Macdonald Residence, you will lead the organization, to the next level in providing compassionate care for residents and fostering a supporting working environment for the staff who work here.

Your formal responsibilities will be to direct and supervise Macdonald Residence Assisted Living Facility consistent with good management and applicable regulations. You will represent Macdonald Residence to residents, families, employees, payers and the community.

At Macdonald Residence, we do things a bit differently. What would it really be like to be the Administrator of Macdonald Residence?

You, like us, believe relationships are at the heart of everything you do. You thrive on the variety of tasks, areas of responsibility, and types of people and personalities you get to interact with and support as part of your job. When you begin your position with us, you will learn and understand the strengths of the organization at the same time you create a vision of a continually improving and trauma-informed culture. As your visions become reality, each day looks a little bit different – on Monday you may be meeting with the State Department of Human Services to discuss regulatory changes and on Tuesday you may get pulled into a game of Farkle with residents. You amaze your colleagues with your ability to be just as comfortable with the high-level requirements of running an assisted living facility as you are celebrating a staff member’s work anniversary. You are unflustered by change and love the collaborative environment and the opportunity to empower all of your staff to contribute their best to this place so many call home.
