The Resident Manager is responsible for the guests in the building as well as keeping order throughout the shift. Duties/Responsibilities: Intentionally and strategically seek to exemplify Jesus Christ and be equipped and prepared to share the Gospel and provide spiritual support at each point of care; showing the love of Christ and biblical hospitality through each interaction. Provide leadership, mentorship, and shepherding to program participants during assigned shifts by clearly communicating center routines, expectations, and guidelines, reinforcing structured accountability and measurable progression.
