Executive Director

An exciting opportunity to have great impact in the

community exists at Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society. The

organization is searching for its new Executive Director.

The mission of Homeward Bound is to be a

community-centered shelter that supports the human-animal bond through

compassionate care, adoption, education, and advocacy. The agency’s vision for

the community is that it will be one:

·        

That is nurturing and compassionate towards

all animals

·        

Where no animal suffers from abuse or neglect

·        

Where companion animals are treated as

lifelong, valued family members

Temporary respite through Pets in Crisis and the support

of low-income families and their pets with food and veterinary care are just

two examples of how Homeward Bound works on immediate and long-term goals.

Dedicated and creative staff, supportive Board members, and a dynamic community

of volunteers and donors stand behind the agency’s work.

The Executive Director will be part of this team and will

be responsible for the lead or oversight of the general operations of the

agency. This will include, but is not limited to, cost-effective and humane

operation of the shelter, oversight of the medical/surgery suite, development

of new programs, financial management, fundraising, and staff and volunteer

recruitment and retention.

This position is designed for someone with three to five

years of experience in a similar role. To apply, please send a cover letter and

resume to: director@homewardboundanimals.org.

Position will remain open until filled.
