General Position Description
The Jacksonville Jewish Center is a vibrant, Conservative congregation with 750 families located in Northeast Florida. The Jacksonville Jewish Center buzzes with activity seven days a week; our 34-acre campus is blessed with amazing outdoor and indoor spaces in which to offer myriad spiritual, educational, and social opportunities. We are excited to hire the next Director of the Bernard & Alice Selevan Religious School (Grades K-7). We are seeking a creative and passionate Jewish educator with high energy and a commitment to excellence; a talented leader who is also a warm and approachable “people person” committed to collaborative relationships. As our Director, you are responsible for the educational vision of our Religious School (RS). You will build community, developing connections between our families and the greater synagogue membership. You will also serve as a role model to people of all ages and operate as an integral member of the larger team of staff and clergy. As a leader on the professional staff, you will work with our synagogue’s team to recruit and retain families, and will oversee the administration of our RS and supervise affiliated programs. You should be comfortable with Conservative Judaism and committed to participating in the life of our congregational family. You will guide and inspire Jewish education and experiences for our learners and their families, in alignment with the broader mission and vision of the synagogue.

Desired Qualifications
Compensation and Work Schedule*
*This is 2/3 time position, and one that lends itself to a flexible schedule outside of regular school hours. It is understood that the Director’s presence and participation in evening and weekend events counts towards the hours of the work week. Evaluation of the success of the Director’s performance will not be based on the extent to which they keep regular office hours during the week, but rather their engagement in all aspects of the position.
Note: Candidates who meet most, if not all, of our desired qualifications are still encouraged to apply. Please send resume and cover letter to [email protected]
