Area Agency on Aging Director
Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments seeks a highly motivated individual to join a team of professionals who works independently to develop and administer a variety of programs that enable the region’s older adults and their caregivers to benefit from a comprehensive system of care that meets their needs in a responsive and dignified manner. The Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Director supervises staff involved with community based and long-term care programs and administers block grant and
other funds supporting a variety of recreational, health, safety, and financial programs. Work involves considerable public contact with local, state, and federal elected officials, local service providers, state staff in various departments, and older adults and their caregivers. The AAA Director plays a strong role in advocating for older adults. An employee in this class is responsible for identifying, analyzing, and formulating possible resolution to various situations. Work requires a broad understanding of long-term
care services and supports, as well as programs and resources for older adults, along with the policies, procedures, rules and regulations governing the agency, and related programs. Work is performed under the administrative guidance of the agency’s Executive Director, and is evaluated through conferences, observation, reports, and feedback from community groups and various committees and state agencies.
