Job Description

Live-In Position : Wichita falls TX

About the Opportunity

We are building a structured, supportive sober living home and are looking for our first Live-In House Manager. This is a meaningful leadership role for someone in recovery who wants to give back, help shape a positive culture, and support residents as they work toward long-term sobriety and independence.

You will be the on-site leader and the steady presence that keeps the home running smoothly, safe, and accountable. This is not a clinical, counseling, or case-management position. It is a hands-on leadership and operations role focused on structure, consistency, enforcement of rules, and creating a healthy living environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Enforce house rules and program expectations fairly and consistently
• Monitor curfews and maintain resident accountability
• Conduct or assist with drug and alcohol testing
• Report incidents and maintain basic documentation
• Help keep the home clean, safe, and well-maintained
• Encourage and support residents in attending recovery meetings
• Assist with resident conflict resolution
• Maintain clear communication with ownership
• Help with rent collection (or communicate issues promptly)
• Assist with filling vacant beds and light community marketing
• Build relationships with local recovery meetings, treatment centers, probation officers, and other referral sources

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who leads by example and has strong personal recovery. The best House Managers combine lived experience with emotional maturity, consistency, and the ability to enforce boundaries with respect and fairness.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 9–12 months of continuous sobriety
• Active involvement in a recovery community
• Honest, trustworthy, calm under pressure, and dependable
• Comfortable enforcing rules and boundaries without creating unnecessary drama
• Emotionally mature and professional
• Reliable transportation
• Basic computer and smartphone skills
• Stable employment or another reliable source of income (this role includes housing, so we are looking for candidates who are not solely financially dependent on the position)
• Willingness to commit to the role for at least one year

Strongly Preferred

• Existing connections within the local recovery community (treatment centers, meetings, probation, hospitals, churches, veteran organizations, etc.)
• Previous leadership, peer support, or house manager experience (a plus, but not required)

Compensation & Benefits

This is a live-in position with the following package:

• Free private or semi-private room
• Utilities included
• Opportunity to grow with the program as we expand

Time Commitment (approximate)

1–1.5 hours per resident per week. For most homes this equals 8–20 hours of active responsibilities per week, depending on the number of residents. Because you live on-site, you provide consistent presence and oversight while still having personal time.

Why This Role Matters

Your House Manager is the heart of daily operations and culture. You help protect the investment in the home, support residents’ recovery, maintain occupancy, and build the local reputation that keeps beds filled. Many of the best House Managers in this field started with strong personal recovery and a genuine desire to serve.
