Exceptional Career Opportunities

There are currently no employment opportunties at The Friendship Center.

Not only does The Friendship Center provide an impressive array of services, it is a wonderful place to work and learn! Our state of the art facility is the result of a $2.2 million capital campaign and boasts over 10,000 square feet of living and office space. Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the building.

Our wages are as competitive as possible, and we provide an exceptional benefits package that includes medical, dental and life insurance and a very generous retirement plan. Our full-time staff members enjoy a total of more than 5 weeks paid vacation and sick leave. In addition, they are paid for holidays during which the agency is closed and receive an additional paid day of leave for each of those. During the Christmas holiday season, the agency operates with limited staff in order to provide staff with additional paid leave which does not count against vacation or sick time accrued. After five years of employment, full-time staff members qualify for a paid, 30 day sabbatical. Depending upon the success of the annual fundraising efforts, staff members may also receive an annual bonus.

The working environment at the Friendship Center is supportive and full of opportunities to grow and develop a successful career in the field of human services. Employees are encouraged and empowered to learn new skills as well as to enhance those they already have. Our expectations of professionalism and integrity are exceptionally high, and we believe this provides our staff members with a unique advantage in the business and human services community. It is truly a privilege to place The Friendship Center on your resume.
