Dorm Director Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Lead a Dorm. Mentor Students. Build a Home.
For the students on your dorm, you're more than a manager - you're the person who makes their living space safe, clean, structured, and supportive. As Dorm Manager, you'll oversee the daily management of your dormitory, lead a residential team, and provide the individualized case management that keeps students enrolled, progressing, and on track to complete the Job Corps program.
This is a leadership role for someone who blends genuine care for young people with sound judgment and strong management - and who knows that a well-run dorm is where retention, satisfaction, and student success truly begin.
Why Join Us? Make a Real Impact!
Job Corps is a transformative program that provides education, vocational training, and career readiness to young adults.

Establish supportive, mentoring relationships throughout students' enrollment, serve as an active member of case management and success teams, and oversee the student dorm leadership program.
Ensure Safety, Security & Readiness
Ensure the physical security of the dorm area and report concerns to senior management. Ensure the accuracy and completeness of incident and shift reports, maintain adequate inventory levels and proactively order supplies, and initiate work orders for repairs - following up with maintenance to ensure completion.

Employ sound time-management and delegation, hold staff accountable, develop them for career progression, and create a supportive, motivating work environment.
