Syracuse Jewish Family Service is a respectful, dynamic, creative, and positive workplace. Our location adjacent to Menorah Park means that our staff enjoy many of the perks of working on a larger campus while maintaining the support and community that comes from being part of a smaller team. Menorah Park’s campus bistro, recreation trails, gift shop, and live entertainment are popular elements of campus life.

A benefit to working in a small nonprofit such as Syracuse Jewish Family Service is that, once someone is hired, they cannot get ‘lost.’ We look at work holistically and constantly ask, what does it take for you to be successful here? In addition to moving along a spectrum of professional development opportunities, success also includes supporting personal growth. Nearly 75% of staff have been with Syracuse Jewish Family Service for 5+ years; a testament to the success of this model.

All SJFS staff participate in staff meetings that feature peer support and case conferencing; and a community professional or agency presents an in-service every other month on a topic of current interest. We provide subsidies for staff to attend conferences and offer tuition benefits at select partner Universities. Our salaries are competitive and full- time staff are eligible for health, life, vision, and dental insurance in addition to a retirement matching program.
