Community Services Operations & Field Supervisor
Yes. I reviewed the actual posting. I would add Community Engagement & Outreach as its own responsibility section, rather than burying it under Office & Operations Support, because this person will be one of Penn Home Health Care's representatives in the communities you serve. The current posting already establishes the multi-county field nature of the position, so outreach fits naturally. Pasted text
