Current Openings
Senior Director of Family and Community Programs
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Senior Director of Family & Community Programs provides strategic and operational leadership for Family Nurturing Center’s family engagement, early childhood, coalition, and community-based program portfolio. This position is responsible for ensuring high-quality, family-centered services that strengthen children, families, and communities while advancing FNC’s mission, values, and commitment to equitable, culturally responsive practice.
The Senior Director leads the implementation, coordination, and continuous improvement of community-based programs across multiple sites, ensuring strong program quality, effective leadership, meaningful family engagement, and responsive community partnerships. Recognizing that many members of FNC’s workforce bring lived experience as parents, caregivers, former program participants, or community leaders, the Senior Director creates an environment that values those experiences while investing in staff development through clear systems, coaching, mentoring, and opportunities for professional growth.
Working collaboratively across the organization and with community partners, the Senior Director helps strengthen FNC’s presence in the communities it serves by building sustainable partnerships, expanding access to services, and ensuring programs evolve to meet the changing needs of children, families, and neighborhoods.
Director of Parenting Education & Training
Reporting to the Senior Director of Programs & Impact, the Director of Parenting Education & Training provides strategic and operational leadership for Family Nurturing Center’s Parenting Education & Training portfolio. The Director is responsible for establishing the long-term vision and direction of the portfolio while ensuring high-quality parenting education, Nurturing Programs, professional learning, technical assistance, and workforce development initiatives that strengthen parents, caregivers, professionals, and communities.
The Director leads the design, implementation, evaluation, and continuous improvement of evidence-informed parenting education programs, statewide training initiatives, technical assistance, curriculum implementation, and facilitator certification systems. This position ensures services remain family-centered, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and reflective of the
diverse strengths and experiences of the families and communities FNC serves.
Working collaboratively across the organization and with community partners, the Director expands FNC’s reach and impact by strengthening provider capacity, cultivating strategic partnerships, identifying opportunities for growth, and ensuring the Parenting Education & Training portfolio evolves in response to emerging research, community needs, organizational priorities, and funding opportunities throughout Massachusetts. The Director engages with statewide early education leaders, professional networks, and other subject-matter experts to
ensure FNC’s offerings remain current and adapt to evolving research and best practices.
Senior Director of People and Culture
The Senior Director of People & Culture is a key organizational leader responsible for building the people, culture, and workforce systems that enable FNC and its staff to thrive.
FNC has a close-knit workforce of approximately 30 regular full- and part-time employees, along with a pool of seasonal and part-time staff who support our training programs. This structure requires a People & Culture leader who knows our staff and managers, is visible and accessible, and can build strong relationships while creating consistent systems and practices across a varied workforce.
Reporting directly to the Executive Director and serving on the Executive Leadership Team, the Senior Director leads FNC’s People & Culture strategy and core human resources functions, including employee relations, performance management, talent, learning and development, benefits, compensation, policies, compliance, and employee experience.
This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role. The Senior Director must be equally comfortable advising the Executive Director and leadership team, coaching a supervisor through a difficult employee matter, strengthening a policy or system, facilitating staff development, and ensuring essential HR responsibilities are executed accurately and consistently.
The Senior Director supervises the People & Finance Specialist and works closely with Finance & Administration while engaging employment counsel, brokers, trainers, consultants, and other specialized partners as needed.
This is also a highly visible role. The Senior Director is expected to maintain a consistent presence at FNC’s Dorchester headquarters and regularly visit other FNC program sites and communities to build relationships with staff, understand their work, and ensure People & Culture practices are responsive across the organization.
