SEIU Local 503

Director
Homecare Supplemental and Benefit Trusts

Based in Portland, OR

Organizational Overview
The mission of the Quality Partnership is to empower and support Oregon’s homecare and personal support workers by delivering exceptional, integrated training and benefits.

Through their union, SEIU 503, Oregon’s homecare and personal support workers have won access to:

  • Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Program and Paid Time Off benefits, administered by the Oregon Homecare Workers Benefit Trust
  • Assistance paying premiums and out-of-pocket expenses relating to Medicare and Qualified Health Plans on the Marketplaces, administered by the Oregon Homecare Workers Supplemental Trust
  • State-funded professional training beginning in 2020, administered by the SEIU 503 Training Partnership

Position Summary
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Director will be part of a team of professionals who help deliver the benefits of three Trusts.
