This is a paid part time position; primary duties take place three days per week (MWF mornings) while other tasks can be performed remotely and on a somewhat flexible schedule. The Meals on Wheels Client Services Administrator is the key staff person in maintaining the organization’s food preparation and delivery operation for clients. Our local Meals on Wheels chapter serves clients in Shaker Heights, Beachwood, and University Heights. We are a nonprofit organization overseen by a Board of Directors.
