Director of Operations at Jellinek

At Jellinek, we place a high value on the qualities listed above in our new Director of Operations. We actually consider these qualities more important than experience in addiction care, partly because you’ll be joining a team with a wealth of expertise. And because we’re looking for someone who can quickly find their footing in a new environment.

If the field of addiction treatment is new to you, we can give you a sneak peek behind the scenes. Eddy Zoey recently visited one of our clinics for his show*Five Days Inside*. You can watch the teaser here . The full episodes are available to watch on RTL.

Jellinek has been providing care to people with addictions for over 100 years and was the first organization in the field of addiction care to have a TOPGGz-accredited department.

At Jellinek, we are committed to making addiction treatment accessible, driving innovation, and further strengthening our unique position within the sector. With a national recognition rate of over 90%, we are a household name and a pioneer in our approach.
