rBennington College

rJob Type: | Full time

rLocation: Bennington, Vermont, United States

rBennington College welcomes applications for the Director of Health Services position. The Director provides high-quality, culturally sensitive, and gender affirming general health care for common and recurring medical needs, supervising and coordinating a small administrative and clinical team. This position works in close partnership with the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to support overall wellness operations.

Bennington College\'s Health Center functions as an integrative care center offering both medical and counseling services in collaboration with the Wellness Unit. As a part of the Student Life team, the Director will report to the Associate Dean and Director of Integrative Wellness, collaborating with all Student Life units as well as other administrative and academic units as needed, including the Director of CAPS and CAPS team members.

Bennington serves a diverse student population inclusive of members of ethnically/racially minoritized, international, LGBTQIA+, and disability communities, as well as diverse gender identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, and political beliefs. Our staff and faculty also reflect diverse and intersecting backgrounds and identities. All employees are expected to be respectful and responsive to these differences in the service of building a community that promotes student and employee success and community cohesiveness. Each individual (faculty, staff and students) will be accountable for upholding these values. The College\'s approach to pluralism and inclusivity-both as fields of inquiry and practice-is to prioritize flexible thought, and to invite the examination of access, value, power, and privilege through its institutional policies and areas of study. We encourage applicants from diverse realms of interest, backgrounds, experience, and accomplishment to apply.
