Houseparent Agreement

The Houseparent position at Lighthouse Ministries is a ministry role of responsibility, leadership, and service. The Houseparent is responsible for helping maintain a safe, structured, and supportive environment for residents while modeling Christ-like behavior and healthy boundaries.

The Houseparent role requires active engagement and presence. This is not simply a housing arrangement, but a staff position with defined responsibilities and accountability. Due to the nature of the position and the safety of our residents, this is only open to women.

By accepting the Houseparent role, you agree to the following expectations:

Responsibilities

  • Maintain security of the building during assigned shifts 
  • Ensure resident chores are completed during assigned shifts 
  • Facilitate medication times according to Lighthouse Ministries procedures 
  • Respond to resident needs and emergencies appropriately, including overnight 
  • Maintain a visible and consistent presence in the building during your shift 
  • Provide oversight during visits, volunteer groups, and activities when scheduled 
  • Document shift activity in the Houseparent Report before the end of each shift 
  • Communicate any incidents, concerns, or important information to leadership
  • Provide transport as needed
  • Encourage and pray with residents

Professional Conduct

  • Maintain appropriate boundaries with residents at all times 
  • Do not show favoritism toward any resident 
  • Do not share confidential information with residents 
  • Do not leave your assigned post during shift hours unless approved or for an emergency 
  • Personal tasks should not interfere with Houseparent responsibilities 
  • Cell phone use should be limited and not interfere with supervision responsibilities 
  • You are expected to model healthy and Biblical behavior at all times 

Schedule & Coverage

Overall, you will be assigned to work approximately 15 days per month. During the days you are scheduled to work a regular shift, your hours will be approximately 6:00am-7:30am, 6:00pm-8:00pm Monday-Thursday and 4:00pm-9:00pm Friday and on call from 8:00pm-7:30am. Houseparents are permitted to sleep during 8:00pm- 6:00am. As previously mentioned, should a resident require assistance from you while you are on site and on call, it is your responsibility to assist. In all, it is typically a 120 hours per month responsibility.

It is the responsibility of the Houseparent to cover all holidays however they choose between them. Holidays may be split or alternated. When a Houseparent needs to miss work, it is the responsibility of that Houseparent to find coverage either by the other Houseparent (preferred), an approved volunteer or other LMI team member who has agreed and been approved to fill in. Any change to scheduled shifts must be communicated to the Director of Women & Children before the shift.

Housing Agreement

In exchange, LMI offers you an apartment (2-bedroom, 2 bath), utilities, internet, and security for a total value of $2,000 per month. The position of Houseparent has a compensation equivalent of $15 per hour for the approximate 120 hours per month, well under the value of the housing provision. If you choose to accept this role, it is with the understanding that:

  • You accept the apartment housing and that which is outlined above as compensation
  • Holidays and weekends are part of Houseparent scheduled times
  • You accept that your roles as Houseparent can be ended at any time by either you or LMI, with or without cause or notice. Employment is at-will.
  • You accept that when your role as Houseparent ends, so does the apartment housing and the associated services, etc.
  • You agree to track the hours that you work and submit those weekly to HR and the Director of Women & Children, each Monday.
  • You understand and agree that your responsibilities of Houseparent are separate from any other position or responsibilities that you may have with LMI.
  • The Houseparent role is part-time and there are no benefits for part-time employees other than as noted in the Employee Handbook.
