Assistant Center Manager

Description

The Assistant Center Manager (ACM) works with the Health Center Manger to ensure the efficient coordination, management of workflow and systems within an assigned Health Center providing both Family Planning and Abortion services. The ACM performs supervisory responsibilities to include the training of employees, assigning and directing of work, as needed addressing patient and employee complaints and finding solutions and resolutions to issues or complaints. This position assists in the oversight of the health center’s overall risk, quality and compliance, as well as quality assurance to provide top notch quality care in a safe environment for both patients and staff.

Planned Parenthood Arizona (PPAZ) is Arizona’s largest reproductive health care provider, serving over 34,000 patients every year. PPAZ also works to educate communities, lead research directly impacting Arizonans; and advocate for access to health care, resources, and democracy regardless of your race, gender, class, orientation, identity, or status.

Given that Arizona could ban abortion with a court decision on any day, working with impacted communities and activated supporters is a keystone of PPAZ’s organizing philosophy: lived experience and the stories that go along with those experiences are invaluable currency when working to educate decision-makers on the impacts of public policy or court decisions like Dobbs that overturned Roe.
