What are the responsibilities and job description for the Resident Advisor position at Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts (LSMSA)?
The primary duty of the Resident Assistant (RA) is to assist the Student Life Advisor as they work to create and maintain a positive living/learning environment for the students in their care. Each RA works independently with his/her floor of students (approximately 36 students) and collectively with the other staff to ensure that student
care, development, and safety needs are met.
Specific responsibilities include assisting the SLA with supervising the student sign-out process, conducting nightly room checks to assure that all students are accounted for in the building, conducting weekly room inspection, transporting students as needed (in school vehicles), enforcing policies, and planning and implementing social and GENERAL educational programming.
Additional on-the-job training, including CPR/AED and first aid training, will be provided.
This is a part-time (approximately 20 hours per week), live-in position and includes a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment for the duration of the contract, a weekly 19-meal plan when students are on campus. RA’s are required to live in the residence hall and to be on-site for scheduled shifts and on-call overnight responsibilities, except on days off. They receive ample time off surrounding holidays and extended weekends
when the residence hall is closed.
