Community Living Advocate 2 PRN - Men's Life Recovery

Hope Lives Here!

At Nashville Rescue Mission, you'll be empowered to influence and impact lives. Join our team today!

Nashville Rescue Mission is actively seeking a part-time Community Living Advocate (PRN) to join our Men's Life Recovery Program team. Are you the right person?

Position Schedule: Saturday - Sunday: 6:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

You're strong in your faith.

Sharing the love of Jesus Christ is at the heart of this position. Your job is to communicate the Gospel and model Christian character to Life Recovery Program participants. Are you prepared to share your testimony? Conduct aftercare groups? Maybe even teach a class?

You’re a great communicator.

When a Life Recovery Program participant needs to talk, can you stop what you’re doing and listen? Being open and making yourself available to those in need is a big part of this job. You’ll also need to communicate with a variety of other staff members in different capacities, so the transition between staff is seamless.

You’re a diplomat.

Can you handle problems and conflict fairly, balancing justice and mercy, and exemplifying discernment and thoughtfulness? Knowing the rules and following the rules comes along with the territory. The right person for this position monitors and readily corrects Life Recovery Program participants when necessary and can do it with grace.

You’re a leader.

There are times when you will need to put out fires and maintain morale. A strong leader will demonstrate empathy and patience in dealing with those who might not share their vision. They motivate rather than criticize because strong leaders understand the effect they have on the people around them.
