Job Description
At Hospice of the East Bay (HEB), everything we do is rooted in compassion, dignity, and community. For nearly 50 years, HEB has provided hospice and palliative care to patients in their homes and at our six-bed inpatient hospice facility, regardless of a person’s ability to pay. Our interdisciplinary teams support both patients and families, with bereavement services offered for at least one year after a loved one’s death.
Behind that care is a dedicated group of professionals who make sure our spaces are safe, welcoming, and fully functional. We are seeking a Facilities Coordinator who takes pride in meaningful work and understands how their behind-the-scenes efforts directly support compassionate care.
