Job description

What We're Building

Mansfield Hall is a living and learning community for neurodivergent college students, students who are capable of college but not yet fully ready for total independence. We organize the work around four areas: Living (independent living skills), Learning (academic and executive functioning), Giving (community involvement), and Engaging (social and emotional growth). Coaches are how all four of those actually happen. Not in a classroom, in the moment, every day.

What You'll Actually Do

• Provide direct coaching and support to residential students navigating daily schedules, community expectations, social situations, and individual goals
• Help students follow the routines in their Student MAPs
• Build positive, professional relationships with students that include encouragement, accountability, feedback, and clear boundaries
• Address and de-escalate student well-being concerns
• Facilitate social interactions and coordinate extracurricular activities
• Monitor and document student progress; manage the on-call staff phone during your shift
• Assist with meal setup and community space upkeep

Why This Might Not Be the Job for You

• You'd rather solve a problem for a student than coach them through solving it themselves
• You're most comfortable in quiet, highly predictable environments with few interruptions
• You're uncomfortable addressing interpersonal conflict or emotional situations as they happen
• You struggle to hold a boundary with someone you also genuinely like, or to give direct feedback
• You'd rather work independently than communicate constantly with a team

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in behavioral sciences, psychology, education, social work, or a related field
• At least one year of direct experience coaching, mentoring, tutoring, or supporting young adults
• Comfort in a dynamic residential environment supporting up to 50 students
• Clear, respectful, professional communication, including in emotionally heightened moments

Schedule

Sunday: 9am-5pm

Monday: 3pm-11pm

Wednesday: 2pm-11pm

Thursday: 1pm-9pm

This role pays $22/hr. Because this is a part-time role, some of the benefits below may be prorated or scoped to part-time eligibility:

• Medical insurance, with the premium cost shared between Mansfield Hall and the employee, plus an HSA option
• Employer-funded wellness dollars
• Free meals and drinks during your shift
• 401(k) retirement plan with a 4% employer match
• Paid time off, plus paid winter break
• Disability and life insurance coverage
• Work expense reimbursement
