About Lighthouse

We are a faith-based supportive recovery home dedicated to providing a structured, supportive, and healing environment for individuals in recovery from substance use. Our program is rooted in Christian values, and we walk alongside our participants as they rebuild their lives.

Job Summary

Lighthouse is seeking a dedicated, structured professional to serve as a full-time Program Specialist and Women’s House Manager. This dual role focuses on overseeing daily house operations, conducting compliance screenings, and managing the participant lifecycle from intake to program completion. While primarily stationed at our women's facility, this position requires occasional travel to our other local program sites (including men's facilities) to assist with administrative and operational needs. As a faith-based program, this role also includes providing spiritual encouragement and leading structured, in-house group meetings.

Note: Lighthouse will fully fund and provide the required training for First Aid/CPR and Colorado QMAP certifications within the first 90 days of employment.

Our Ideal Candidate

The right candidate will have a strong heart for working with people in recovery from addiction. You must possess a natural balance of grace, mercy, and love, seamlessly paired with the ability to maintain firm, healthy boundaries. Because this role involves navigating a dynamic residential environment, you must be emotionally regulated, calm, and grounded in order to remain encouraging, supportive, and stable for others in their recovery journey. An exceptional candidate will model professional, clear, and proactive communication in all interactions with participants, families, and community partners, while demonstrating a highly organized, naturally efficient approach to a fast-paced environment where multitasking is a daily reality and interruptions are common.

Notice regarding Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQs):  Due to the nature of the primary facility as an all-women's residential space, and because the essential duties at this location include conducting physical urinalysis (UA) testing and personal property/room searches, being female is a BFOQ for this position.

• Due to the safety, liability, multi-site travel, and commercial auto insurance requirements of managing our facilities and transporting residents, being at least 25 years of age is a BFOQ for this position.

Background & Screening Requirements

Due to the nature of our program, the vulnerable population we serve, and our facility insurance requirements, final candidates must successfully complete the following prior to an official offer of employment:

• Drug Screening: A pre-employment drug screening is required. Because Lighthouse is a strict sober living facility, we maintain a zero-tolerance, drug-and-alcohol-free workplace policy. This includes a mandatory negative screen for THC/marijuana, as an active lifestyle of total sobriety is a core operational requirement and essential to preventing triggers for our participants.
• Background Check: A comprehensive criminal background check is required. Please note that certain criminal convictions—specifically involving violence, theft/financial fraud, exploitation, or sexual offenses—are automatic disqualifiers for this position.
• Motor Vehicle Record (MVR): A clean driving record check is required to meet our commercial auto insurance mandates for resident transport.

Key Responsibilities

1. House Management & Compliance

• Program Accountability: Monitor and enforce adherence to all house expectations, including curfews, mandatory attendance at weekly meetings, active employment maintenance, and sobriety.
• Accountability Screening: Conduct random and scheduled Urinalysis (UA) testing and breathalyzers at the women's facility; document, track, and report all results daily to appropriate agencies. (Note: UA compliance testing is not required during visits to men's facilities).
• Financial & House Tracking: Oversee the collection and documentation of monthly participant fees. Assign and inspect daily and weekly house chores to maintain facility cleanliness.
• Multi-Site Travel & Transportation: Utilize a vehicle to safely assist with operations across multiple local facility sites, resident transport, or house errands as required.
• Crisis Intervention: Provide on-site crisis intervention, participate in the rotating after-hours on-call schedule for emergencies, mediate roommate conflicts, and maintain a calm, trauma-informed environment.

2. Admissions & Intake Processing

• Screening & Selection: Conduct interviews (in-person and phone) with applicants, perform reference checks, and assist leadership in making informed admission decisions.
• Onboarding & Intakes: Facilitate the formal intake process, including completing all paperwork, orientation, and performing mandatory belongings searches for contraband.
• File Management: Create, organize, and maintain digital and physical participant files in compliance with confidentiality standards.

3. Administrative Support

• Serve as a primary point of contact for phone calls, emails, and community inquiries.
• Handle document preparation, accurate data entry, filing, scanning, and confidential document shredding.
• Keep all administrative forms, admission packets, and intake folders fully stocked.
• Coordinate community-building tools such as monthly bulletin boards, and organize birthday/sobriety anniversary cards for participants.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Gender: Female (Required due to residential privacy and physical UA testing mandates at the primary facility).
• Minimum Age: Must be at least 25 years of age (Required for commercial auto insurance policy guidelines and multi-site travel).
• Licensure: Must possess a valid Driver’s License and maintain a clean driving record (MVR check required prior to hire).
