Resident Manager - Group Home

Location: Soldotna, AK
Employment Type: Full-Time
Environment: On-site, residential
Schedule: Typically Monday – Friday 8 – 5, but you manage staff who work evenings, weekends, and Holidays, you will manage those and potentially need to fill on sometimes.

The Role

The Resident Manager is more than a supervisor — you are a stabilizing force, a culture builder, and a protector of dignity.

You are the person who walks into a home and brings calm, consistency, and leadership with you. Residents feel safer when you’re there. Staff feel supported. The environment becomes more structured, more respectful, and more human.

This role requires both heart and backbone.

You’ll be responsible for creating an environment where residents can heal, grow, and reclaim independence — while ensuring the home runs smoothly, safely, and in alignment with Riverquest’s mission.

If you are not comfortable leading, making difficult decisions, and being a steady presence in complex situations, this is not the role for you.

If you are — keep reading.
