Site Lead

Overview

The principal role of the Site Lead is to provide overall site supervision and

direct Villager (client) service. Site Leads serve a pivotal function in helping

Villagers (clients) work towards obtaining longer-term, more-stable

housing and all goals that support this. Site Leads also play an essential

role in creating an environment within the Village where everyone can feel

safe, respected, and connected, so that people who live, work, or serve

can always feel at home.

E1V has a strong and growing presence in the community. E1V, as a

Village, walks with everyone, especially those in need of housing, food,

workforce opportunities, treatment services, and other community

resources. Through these healing connections we help each other to

cultivate lives full of meaning and purpose. This includes not only the

people we serve, but also the people serving alongside us. Like every

member of the staff team, the Site Lead should engage people in a

respectful and authentic way that helps to build connection and trust.

This is a position in a quickly growing village, so the Site Lead must be

adaptable to changing circumstances and realities and be willing to

embrace new responsibilities as needed.

Requirements

• Champion of vision, values, and culture of Everyone Village
• At least a year of hands-on experience working with marginalized, at risk, economically disadvantaged, physically/mentally disabled, substance abuse/dual diagnosed and homeless individuals
• An ability to communicate effectively with diverse communities and to adjust communication style to audiences as appropriate
• Top-notch problem-solving skills with the ability to quickly assess a situation
• High level of attention to detail, comfortable with regular reporting
• Ability to work in harmony with and serve a broad spectrum of humans
• Exceptional model of personal integrity

over-arching priorities in mind:

Monitoring areas for damage to grounds, equipment and/or facilities, following procedures, and the careful documentation of incidents in a timely manner will be a necessity.
