Community Outreach Specialist

We’re Hiring: Community Outreach Specialist

Lutherville, Maryland | Full-Time | Hybrid (some evenings & weekends required)

Salary: $66,000 annually, with full benefits package.

At HopeWell Cancer Support, our mission is simple but powerful: to provide free emotional, social, and educational support to individuals and families affected by cancer. For more than 33 years, HopeWell has been a safe, welcoming place where people find connection, comfort, and strength — no one faces cancer alone.

We’re looking for a Community Outreach Specialist to help us share that message even further. This is a unique opportunity for a passionate, relationship-driven leader who loves connecting with people, building partnerships, and inspiring community involvement.

What You’ll Do:

As our Community Outreach Specialist, you’ll be the connector between HopeWell and the community we serve. You’ll:

• Build and nurture partnerships with community organizations, hospitals, businesses, and faith-based groups.
• Represent HopeWell at events, speaking engagements, and outreach activities.
• Develop creative strategies to raise awareness of our programs and expand our reach.
• Support the development and implementation of social media and website strategies to increase HopeWell’s visibility, strengthen community engagement, and promote awareness of programs and services.
• Plan and host community events, workshops, and presentations.
• Collaborate with staff, volunteers, and the Outreach and Engagement Committee to bring HopeWell’s mission to life.
• Track outreach activities and celebrate the impact we make together.

Every day, you’ll be helping more people discover the healing power of community support — one relationship at a time.

What You Bring:

• A heart for service and a passion for community connection.
• Bachelor’s degree (communications, public relations, social work, or related field preferred).
• 3–5 years of experience in outreach, engagement, or nonprofit leadership.
• Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to connect with diverse communities and build trust.
• Comfort using social media, digital tools, and community platforms to share stories and build awareness.
• Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends for events.

Why Join HopeWell?

You’ll be part of a caring, mission-driven team that believes in the power of hope, healing, and human connection. You’ll help strengthen a community where no one has to walk through cancer alone — and you’ll see the impact of your work every single day.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
