Administrative Coordinator Full-time Job

We are searching for a Administrative Coordinator to join our Moody Hall team based in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Opening in November 2024, Moody Hall will be home to 144 residents and will feature private suites and washrooms, ample natural light, wider hallways, and new equipment. The home is designed with six neighbourhoods for 24 residents. Every neighbourhood has dedicated nursing stations, dining rooms, living rooms, libraries and activity spaces.

At Moody Hall, we will introduce our innovative Main Street, a purposefully designed space that creates a charming, small-town atmosphere encouraging independence and community spirit among residents.

Main Street is a vibrant hub that includes a cozy café, a town hall, theatre, chapel and schoolhouse.

The home is named after Dr. Harold Moody who was a prominent humanitarian and civil rights activist. He spent time in the Bloomsbury area of London where he set up his own general practice after being denied from hospitals because of the colour of his skin. He also formed ‘The League of Coloured People’ with 70 other Central YMCA Club members (Bloomsbury) to support other people suffering racial discrimination.

Together, these features create an inviting, community-focused environment for social interaction and personal independence, making Moody Hall a unique and enriching place to call home.
