Position Summary: 

The Life Skills Coach (LSC) provides direct support to Mansfield Hall students in managing day-to-day life skills and building the life skills necessary for independence. The LSC develops relationships with students to provide them with appropriate and supportive mentorship, coaching, and feedback. Like all Mansfield Hall employees, Life Skills Coaches should embody the mission, values, philosophy, and approach of the organization. 

Essential Functions: 

  • Assist students in learning independent life skills, including but not limited to cleaning, hygiene, budgeting, bill paying, grocery shopping, and time management, while documenting observations and progress. 
  • Conduct individual and small-group sessions and workshops to support the growth of independent living skills for students. 
  • Support the Director of Student Life and team in all aspects of case management, including planning, implementing, and evaluating student goals and staff-supported skills. 
  • Update the Director of Student Life weekly on student plans. 
  • Utilize campus and community resources to promote learning and skill building. 
  • Provide direct care coverage in support of student life and academic departments. 
  • Participate in scheduled meetings, including weekly team review meetings and Staff and Community Meetings. 
  • Support students with medication management. 
  • Review all pre-arrival paperwork with the Director of Student Life. 
  • Promote a safe and comfortable living environment for students. 
  • Engage in Collaborative Problem Solving with students when their actions and our expectations are not in alignment. 
  • Encourage and guide students to engage in activities/social groups outside of the Mansfield Hall community. 
  • Develop and implement best-practice strategies for working with students. 
  • Perform other duties not specified, but essential to the functioning of the Mansfield Hall program. 

In performing their job responsibilities, employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects Mansfield Hall’s commitment to a supportive and encouraging living and learning environment. This includes effective and respectful interaction with co-workers and students alike. 

Schedule:  Monday - Thursday from 8am to 4pm, and Sundays from 9am to 5pm. 

 

Qualifications:

  • At least one year of direct experience in academic tutoring, coaching, or supporting students with diverse learning needs. 
  • Strong ability to build professional relationships with students, families, and campus partners.

  • Demonstrated ability to support others in working toward their personal goals. 
  • Proven success working independently as well as within a team setting. 
  • Ability to positively impact our fun and inclusive work and living environment. 

Working Conditions: 

  • Internal: Work is performed primarily in a climate-controlled office environment with moderate noise from normal office activities. Occasional interruptions and distractions are inherent to a flex-space work environment.

  • Eye strain from reading detailed materials and computer work is possible. 
  • The ability to lift up to 30 pounds (such as office equipment and supplies) is required.
