About Job

Are you looking for a rewarding career that makes a difference in people's lives? Do you want to work for an organization that was awarded a Worksite Wellness Award in 2024 and Best Places to Work three years in a row?

Our Options Counselors work one-on-one with older adults and their families or caregivers to provide information about services, resources, and benefits available to the individual. This position provides Long Term Care Options Counseling and may also assist individuals in long-term care facilities who wish to transition back into a community setting. This is a field-based position based out of our Colchester office. Mileage reimbursement provided. No on-call nights or weekends.

Qualifications:

The successful candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree, preferably with a human service orientation, and three years social service experience.

Benefits:

We offer a very generous benefit package, including substantial time off, retirement plan eligibility on day 1, and we are an organization that supports employee wellness and work/life balance.

Diversity Statement:

At Age Well, we are committed to serving all older Vermonters, their families and caregivers regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, race, religion, education, or financial status. We believe that demonstrating inclusiveness creates a healthy, positive, and collaborative community.

Age Well stands with communities across Vermont who are impacted by discriminatory social biases. Age Well’s mission emphasizes diversity, inclusion and equity as critical components to ensure the well-being of our staff, clients, volunteers and those we serve.
