Hillel at Dartmouth College is seeking a full-time Director of Community Care and Wellness to join our team in summer 2026. In this innovative, new role, you will lead with vision to ensure our students’ wellbeing is woven into the fabric of our work by providing community care and case management, and acting as a resource for staff and students. You will help us honor the whole person as a vital part of our responsibility to nurture Jewish community.
The Director of Community Care and Wellness will integrate evidence-based best practices from positive and developmental psychology, experiential education and social work into our organizational culture. You will leverage Dartmouth’s unique environment - including its connection to nature, outdoor recreation, and a vibrant arts community - to infuse creative expression, mindfulness, stress management, and Jewishly-rooted resilience practices into Hillel. While this position interfaces with Dartmouth’s campus-wide mental health and wellbeing structure, it is a non-clinical role and does not provide long-term psychotherapy or crisis coverage, which are handled by College clinical services.
This position reports to the Assistant Director and collaborates closely with our student-facing engagement professionals.
