The Center for Caregiver Advancement (CCA) is building the workforce of highly trained caregivers that many Californians can’t live without.For over two decades, CCA has been at the forefront of an equity-driven movement for quality training and quality jobs. CCA is one of the largest providers of training for long-term caregivers in California, training over 35,000 home care and nursing home caregivers in the past 20 years. We are pioneers in home care training and are the only organization in the country to show the value of evidence-informed training programs on both the workforce population and the low-income seniors and people with disabilities for whom they care, with curriculum licensed in four other states.Training is one piece of a large, complex system of long-term care. Still, we know from our long history in the field and studies of our impact that training can lead to higher rates of retention and quality care because caregivers have the knowledge and confidence to be successful in their jobs. With the vast majority of caregivers being immigrant women of color who live in under-invested communities across the state, we meet them where they are, providing training in six languages.CCA develops quality training programs for both IHSS home care workers and Skilled Nursing Facility workers. We have a deep partnership with SEIU Local 2015, the labor union that represents IHSS and SNF workers across California. Our Labor Management Training Partnership for nursing home workers is grounded in partnership systems in which skilled nursing facility employers collaborate with SEIU Local 2015 to benefit the workforce and provide higher-quality care to residents through high-quality courses, certifications, and apprenticeship programs.Position Overview:The Director of Information Systems will lead and manage the information systems strategy across the organization, ensuring the security and protection of data and systems.
