Addiction Recovery House Manager

Loving Solutions, founded by Dr. Nick Goeders, is a non-profit with the mission to provide a safe, Christ-centered environment for women recovering from methamphetamine addiction. On their road to recovery, women will learn necessary life skills based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ that will help them maintain sobriety long-term.

Loving Solutions is looking to hire two full-time house co-managers at an all-female recovery residence.  The residence is a 4000 square foot home with 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms located on 12.8 acres just outside of Shreveport, LA. There are two horses on site. The candidates must have a passion for helping others recover from a substance use disorder.  A “lived experience” with addiction treatment and recovery may also be useful but is not required. Special consideration is given to individuals who have attended a Bible College.

Although Loving Solutions has been founded for several years, the house co-managers will assist with truly getting this ministry off the ground. We are asking for a commitment of 1 year. The salary will be $1,250 per month with room and board provided. Cars (and gas/insurance) for use with the women at Loving Solutions will be provided.

The Residence Co-Manager is a full-time, live-in professional with the responsibility of managing and coordinating the daily activities of the recovery home.  This includes duties related to resident support, administration, coordination of care, housekeeping and daily living.
