Job Description
Knox County Homeless Coalition is looking for a Facilities Coordinator who wants to join us in our mission to end the cycle of poverty and homelessness in Mid-coast Maine!
Knox County Homeless Coalition offers comprehensive programs and services to adults, families, and youth in Midcoast Maine. We deliver wrap-around programming and support to our clients, including Comprehensive Case Management services, The Hospitality House Family Shelter, and The Landing Place Youth Program. Everything we do is delivered with respect, dignity, and genuine caring, delivering on our promise of home, help, and hope.
The Facilities Coordinator will support the agency in many ways, first and foremost by being the go-to person to contact when facility needs arise at any of our locations. The Coordinator, with the support of the Director of Housing, will troubleshoot and problem solve, whether that requires a basic repair, or reaching out to an external vendor for support. They will be the main point of contact for all facility vendors, including security, safety, and utility vendors, among others. This staff member should be comfortable working in a fast-paced, non-profit environment and possess the ability to remain organized and efficient while managing multiple tasks. They will be onsite and hands-on, helping to keep the office and facilities tidy and safe for our staff and clients, and should be willing and able to tackle minor repairs and improvements.
We seek caring, honest, creative, and supportive staff members who are collaborative-minded, solutions-oriented, non-judgmental, and capable of maintaining perspective, as well as a sense of humor. The ideal candidate will have excellent organizational and follow-through skills, be able to communicate effectively, professionally, and respectfully with diverse audiences, and possess a keen attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work. The Coordinator will be self-motivated, and able to work independently, as well as part of a team. They will be expected to be able to lift up to 75 pounds, have access to a personal vehicle, should possess a valid driver’s license, and have a safe driving record of at least two years. This is a Monday through Friday position, with on-call responsibilities to respond to the occasional, facility-related emergency during off-hours.
Background and license checks will be required prior to hire.
This position will pay $19 - $22 / hour based on experience. KCHC offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including employer-supported health insurance plans (employer pays up to 95% and contributes to a health savings account), optional dental and vision plans, life insurance, short term disability insurance, retirement plan with a 3% employer match, paid time off (starting at 15 days per year), 14 paid holidays (including your birthday!), and additional time off in the summer.
To apply, please submit a resume, and a cover letter explaining why you would be a great fit for our team to careers@homehelphope.org with the job title in the subject line. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
