Additionally, the SUA works to strengthen the aging network and implement a range of grants related to the core state unit mission to support older Vermonters and family caregivers to live as independently as possible and to lead meaningful lives. The SUA Operations Team Leader position is a Registered Dietitian who will monitor and oversee OAA nutrition programs and health promotion and disease prevention programs, interfacing with the federal government, state agencies and community partners, managing grants and contracts, and supervising one team member.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and work to create a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible work environment for all.
Environmental Factors
Duties are performed remotely (telework) and in a standard office setting. Meetings with outside agencies will require travel, for which use of state fleet vehicles is encouraged, but private means of transportation must be available. Some pressures from overlapping reporting deadlines and providing quality oversight of programs may be anticipated. Some work outside of normal office hours may be required.
