The Guest Services Coordinator for Women serves the needs of guests and residents at both our Women’s Center and the Guest House for Women & Children. The Coordinator ensures the 3 core elements of the New Life Discipleship Program are fully lived out through all classes and activities. The 3 Core elements are: Spiritual Formation, Addiction Recovery and Life Skills.

• Prepare a weekly report that indicates the upcoming week activities, scheduled drivers, weekend coverage staff, identifies issues, absent teachers, etc.
o Coordinate transportation needs for all students and guests by identifying drivers and ensuring drivers have their schedule. This includes church, AA meetings, Mission activities, etc. Identify and solve glitches in the schedule related to transportation, etc.
o Ensure teachers are alerted to any changes in the teaching schedule. Submit a weekly report of the start and stop times for volunteer teachers and alert the Director when teachers will be absent, making suggestions for how to fill the gaps in the schedule.
o Ensure the Weekend House Manager Staff is aware of their schedules, problem-solve coverage issues and keep Director apprised. When scheduled weekend or overnight work schedule conflicts arise, the individual scheduled to work is responsible for first trying to find someone to exchange shifts.
