Position Description:
Helping Hands Clinic (HHC) has prospered for nearly 20 years as the only charity-funded free-clinic in Caldwell County, NC. With over 22% of uninsured adults, Helping Hands meets a critical need in the community. The Board of Directors is committed to continuing and adapting HHC as a privately funded, 501(c)(3) that improves the health of the uninsured, even as the health care marketplace changes. 

The clinic serves 2500 uninsured adults and employs a full-time medical provider and 7 staff, engages 150 volunteers who give 5,000 hours a year on behalf of patients and is open weekdays. The vibrant pharmacy dispenses 22,000 prescriptions to patients at an annual value of $3+ million. The $550,000 annual operating budget leverages significant in-kind-services to provide the equivalent of $5-$6 million in quality medical care to patients. 

HHC seeks a full-time administrative leader to build on HHC’s strengths serving patients and attracting donors, and to guide the Board of Directors and staff though anticipated changes in the next 2-5 years. Strategic leadership, prior work with governing boards, an ability to provide stability for an organization in transition, and a proven track-record in private fundraising are essential. Prior success working collaboratively with funding and community partners and an instinct for the mission will be important attributes for candidates. A minimum of 5-7 years in a leadership capacity with a nonprofit (NPO) is preferred; 

Specifically, the position requires: 

A bachelor's degree, and a comprehension of the healthcare sector dynamics; 
A proven track record in philanthropic major & annual fundraising, and in grant-seeking; 
The ability to act strategically while working tactically and operationally; 
People-skills, energy, and an ability to act in an environment of uncertainty; 
The professional stature to interact effectively with medical providers, funders, government agencies and other health care administrators; and, 
The capacities to lead by example with integrity, strength and compassion. 

Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest and qualifications to HHC Search Committee, 810 Harper Avenue, Lenoir, North Carolina 28645, by October 1. Please include three reference contacts. Application screening will begin immediately. The current Executive Director will be available to assist in the orientation of a new leader.
