Human Resources

It should be a calling, a vocation. Through pursuing a career with Franciscan University, you’ll have the opportunity to be a part of a visionary organization in service of the Catholic Church, society, and culture.

At Franciscan University you will work for and with the Church, alongside like-minded men and women who share your values and your desire to transform the culture. You’ll be challenged by the work and rewarded by the fruit it bears. You’ll be part of an institution that Francis Cardinal Stafford, former president of the Pontifical Council of the Laity, described as “central to the reform and the renewal of the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council.”

Situated just 40 miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and 25 miles from the Pittsburgh International Airport, Franciscan University’s home city of Steubenville, Ohio, offers University employees the best of both worlds: A small town environment with thriving parishes, faithful Catholic schools, an extensive homeschool network, and a close-knit supportive community, plus all the amenities of a major metropolitan area, including professional sporting events, a world-class symphony, opera, ballet, theater, shopping, fine dining, and more.

Steubenville is the seat of Jefferson County whose rich natural resources have lent themselves to an economic history based in industry and agriculture. Over the last several years, natural gas exploration and production have contributed to significant economic development.

Abundant recreational options in our county include parks, lakes, golf courses, trails, historic sites, wineries, festivals, shopping, and more. A variety of fairs, festivals, and community days show again and again the pride that residents take in their hometowns.

The medical field has seen incredible growth and expansion in Jefferson County over the past several years with new facilities, improved technology, and expanded services. Residents can also enjoy the convenience of top healthcare here at home from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Allegheny General Hospital specialists affiliated with local hospitals.

The strategic approach to Human Resources at Franciscan University is inspired by organizational development best practices and is rooted in the University’s Catholic and Franciscan identity. Our “employee-centric” paradigm recognizes the value and dignity of each person and their indispensable role in fulfilling the University’s mission. In recognition of this certainty, the Human Resources Office at Franciscan University focuses on hiring and retaining exceptionally competent, mission dedicated employees and fostering an environment that allows them to realize their full God-given potential through effective engagement, and resource alignment. By stewarding its human resources in this fashion, Franciscan University will always find new and effective ways to meet the needs of our students and the Church in the midst of an ever changing environment.
