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.

Build meaningful relationships:

through one-on -one relationships, cohort learning, and/or programmatic initiatives oriented toward wellness promotion and deepened involvement in Jewish life with undergraduate and graduate students

Hillel at Dartmouth is a vibrant, student‑centered hub that enriches the lives of Jewish students of all backgrounds through warm community, rich Jewish learning, and a deep connection to Jewish life, culture, and Israel.

Through student‑led initiatives and staff mentorship, Hillel at Dartmouth helps students shape their own Jewish journeys and create welcoming spaces for friends of all backgrounds.

Today, Hillel at Dartmouth regularly connects with nearly all of Dartmouth’s approximately 400 Jewish undergraduates, many of its 200 Jewish graduate students, and a diverse group of non‑Jewish students who join for meals, programs, and community.

The Roth Center for Jewish Life is located in the heart of the campus. The Roth Center offers the stunning Alperin/Kirsch Sanctuary, an open space that hosts dining, meetings, and religious services; the impressive Koreman Library; the fully functional Rauch Kitchen and stocked snack pantry; offices and classrooms; and two student lounges (Lappin and Rosen). The Upper Valley Jewish Community, a regional synagogue, is also housed in the Roth Center.

Hillel at Dartmouth is affiliated with Hillel International. Hillel International enriches the lives of Jewish students so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world, and envisions a world where every student is inspired to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel.
