POSITION PURPOSE

The Mountain View Residential Service Coordinator plays an important role in keeping our site safe, welcoming, and running smoothly. Reporting to the Operations & Services Manager or Program Director, this position is often the first to respond to client needs, helping with both everyday requests and urgent situations. Additionally the position supports volunteers, donors, and community visitors, making sure everyone feels respected and informed.

Key responsibilities include keeping the site secure by monitoring access, completing regular safety checks (rounds), and supporting daily tasks like welcoming new clients, preparing rooms, and organizing supplies. When supervisors are offsite, this role is key to observing what's happening at the site, sharing updates, and keeping clear written and verbal communication with the team.

This role requires strong attention to the safety and emotional well-being of clients, especially during times of stress or crisis. Staff use a calm and compassionate approach to help resolve problems and support stability. By creating a supportive environment, this position helps clients feel safe and builds trust to work toward their goals, including finding permanent housing.
