Sober Partners Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Part-Time Regional Operations Manager

Recovery Residences (Sober Living)

Location: Metro Detroit (Macomb, Wayne & Surrounding Counties)

Position: Part-Time | Non-Live-In | Flexible Schedule with On-Call Availability

Help Build Something That Changes Lives

We're building a growing portfolio of MARR-certified recovery residences throughout Metro Detroit, and we're looking for an exceptional Regional Operations Manager to become our trusted local leader.

This isn't a live-in House Manager position, and it isn't a desk job.

You'll be the person who keeps every home operating at the same high standard by supporting residents, ensuring compliance, coordinating vendors, building referral relationships, solving problems, and protecting the culture of each home.

If you're dependable, compassionate, organized, and comfortable making difficult decisions when necessary, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

Operations & Property Oversight

•     Conduct scheduled and unscheduled visits to each recovery residence.

•     Ensure every home meets company standards for cleanliness, safety, organization, and resident accountability.

•     Support move-ins, move-outs, orientations, and resident transitions.

•     Coordinate maintenance, cleaning, lawn care, locksmiths, inspections, and other vendors.

•     Ensure homes remain fully furnished, stocked, and operating properly.

•     Monitor occupancy, bed availability, and resident census across all homes.

•     Identify problems early and resolve them before they become larger issues.

•     Protect the culture and integrity of every house.

Resident Support

•     Build professional relationships with residents while maintaining healthy boundaries.

•     Help resolve conflicts and de-escalate challenging situations.

•     Address rule violations and behavioral concerns promptly and consistently.

•     Conduct drug and alcohol testing when appropriate.

•     Coordinate resident discharges when necessary.

•     Recognize signs of relapse, overdose risk, mental health crises, or medical emergencies and respond appropriately.

•     Connect residents with treatment providers, MAT/MOUD providers, employment resources, community services, and recovery meetings.

•     Encourage accountability while supporting long-term recovery.

Compliance & Documentation

•     Maintain all documentation required for MARR/NARR certification.

•     Prepare homes for certification and recertification inspections.

•     Represent ownership during inspections.

•     Complete incident reports and maintain accurate operational records.

•     Track resident files, occupancy records, move-ins, move-outs, and required documentation.

•     Ensure policies and procedures are followed consistently across every property.

Community & Referral Relationships

•     Develop positive relationships with treatment centers, hospitals, probation officers, case managers, recovery organizations, and community partners.

•     Represent the organization professionally within the recovery community.

•     Help maintain a positive reputation throughout the region.

Emergency Response & Availability

•     Be available for urgent operational issues outside scheduled work hours.

•     Respond appropriately to resident emergencies and coordinate with ownership when necessary.

•     Exercise sound judgment while maintaining calm under pressure.

What We're Looking For

Required

•     Minimum of 3–5 years of leadership experience.

•     Reliable transportation and valid driver's license.

•     Ability to pass a background check.

•     Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

•     Strong organizational and time management skills.

•     Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

•     Comfortable using computers, email, cloud-based software, and mobile apps.

•     Ability to maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries.

•     Flexible schedule with the ability to travel between multiple properties.

Strongly Preferred

•     Experience working in sober living, residential treatment, behavioral health, or recovery services.

•     Familiarity with MARR, NARR, or comparable certification standards.

•     Experience supervising staff or overseeing multiple locations.

•     Knowledge of motivational interviewing, conflict resolution, and trauma-informed care.

•     Personal or professional experience with recovery is welcomed and valued.

•     CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain within 90 days).

Who Succeeds in This Role

The ideal candidate is calm under pressure, highly organized, compassionate without enabling, and confident making difficult decisions.

You understand that recovery housing requires both accountability and empathy. You're comfortable having hard conversations, enforcing rules consistently, solving problems independently, and treating every resident with dignity and respect.

Most importantly, you're someone ownership can trust to represent the organization with professionalism, integrity, and sound judgment.

Growth Opportunity

We're actively expanding throughout Metro Detroit. As additional homes come online, this role is expected to grow into a full-time Regional Operations leadership position with increased responsibility and compensation.

If you're looking for meaningful work where you can genuinely change lives while helping build one of the region's premier recovery housing organizations, we'd love to hear from you.

To Apply

Please send your resume and a brief cover letter describing your experience in recovery housing, treatment, behavioral health, or related fields.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We comply with all applicable Fair Housing Act, ADA, and state employment laws. Applicants with lived experience in recovery are encouraged to apply.
