EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Rutherford County is located in the beautiful Foothills of Western North Carolina, with the Blueridge Mountains to the north and the Smokey Mountains to the west. While offering the much sought after rural life and “small town friendly” atmosphere the county is centrally located between the bustling and growing metropolitan areas of Asheville, Greenville/Spartanburg, and Charlotte. Similarly, our agency offers a work environment small enough to allow solid professional and supportive relationships with co-workers and other community professionals, while receiving the benefits of the experience and guidance of a strong supervisory and management staff, who encourage and support professional growth, continued education and career advancement. Rutherford County is an ideal employer for motivated and creative individuals seeking to provide high quality services to our citizens.
