Community Program Coordinator

Trellis Supportive Care | Make a real impact across the community

Trellis Supportive Care is seeking a Community Program Coordinator who is passionate about building relationships, creating meaningful community connections, and expanding access to compassionate care through education and outreach.

This role is ideal for someone who loves being out in the community, coordinating engaging programs and events, and serving as a visible ambassador for an organization with a mission-centered purpose. The Community Program Coordinator helps bring Trellis Supportive Care’s services and values to life across a 13-county service area through education, partnership development, veteran recognition, and community engagement. A key part of this position is supporting community needs when and where they happen, so we are looking for someone who values a flexible work schedule, including some evenings and weekends, to participate in festivals, outreach events, presentations, and other community activities.

What You'll Do

As the Community Program Coordinator, you will plan, coordinate, implement, and evaluate a wide range of community-facing programs and outreach efforts that increase awareness of Trellis Supportive Care’s mission and services.

Your work will include:

• Coordinating community education programs and events related to hospice, palliative care, Advance Care Planning, end-of-life care, caregiver support, grief education, and other community health topics.
• Managing event logistics from start to finish, including scheduling, registration, venue coordination, materials, vendor communication, setup, breakdown, and post-event follow-up.
• Representing Trellis Supportive Care in the community at health fairs, chamber events, educational workshops, coalition meetings, festivals, and signature outreach events across the service area.
• Building and maintaining strong community partnerships with healthcare organizations, nonprofit agencies, senior service providers, civic groups, veterans’ organizations, and other stakeholders.
• Supporting Advance Care Planning initiatives, educational workshops, and Caregiver Confidence Classes.
• Assisting with Veteran Recognition efforts, including coordinating meaningful Veteran Pinning Ceremonies for hospice patients.
• Collaborating across departments to coordinate staff and volunteer participation in community outreach activities.
• Maintaining community partnership and outreach data through Microsoft 365 and CRM/database systems.

Community-Focused Work You'll Be Part Of

This position plays a visible role in many of Trellis Supportive Care’s outreach efforts, including participation in events such as:

• Pride celebrations in Winston-Salem and Salisbury
• Juneteenth celebrations
• Fiesta events
• Veterans Day Parade
• KingFest
• Stokes Stomp
• Chamber of Commerce meetings
• Community health fairs and educational events

This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys a dynamic schedule and understands that meaningful community engagement may sometimes happen outside of standard business hours.

What We're Looking For

Candidates should bring a combination of strong communication skills, community engagement experience, and a commitment to compassionate, inclusive service.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Services, Social Work, Public Health, Communications, Healthcare Administration, Education, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and relevant experience
• Valid driver’s license and current automobile liability insurance at agency-required limits
• Ability to travel throughout the service area

Preferred experience

• Experience coordinating community outreach, education programs, healthcare initiatives, or nonprofit programming
• Knowledge of hospice, palliative care, Advance Care Planning, and community-based services
• Notary Public certification, or willingness to obtain certification within a designated timeframe

Skills That Will Help You Thrive

• Excellent public speaking and presentation skills
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building abilities
• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Outstanding organization and attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently and within a team
• Comfort working with Microsoft 365 and CRM/database systems
• Commitment to culturally responsive community engagement and equitable access to education and supportive care services

Work Schedule and Flexibility

This role requires a flexible schedule to meet community needs. While many responsibilities occur during regular business hours, the Community Program Coordinator should be available to work occasional evenings and weekends for community events, presentations, outreach programs, and special initiatives across the service area.

If you are energized by community events, relationship-building, educational outreach, and mission-driven work that directly supports patients, families, and caregivers, this opportunity offers a meaningful way to serve.

Why This Role Matters

At Trellis Supportive Care, community outreach is more than event participation - it is a vital extension of compassionate care. The Community Program Coordinator helps ensure individuals and families have access to education, support, and trusted resources while strengthening the organization’s presence and partnerships throughout the region.

Join Trellis Supportive Care and help create meaningful connections that support individuals, families, and communities when it matters most.
