“Working at Habitat changes a person. We always get to see the best of people: we see people give of themselves over and over again. We see donors give sacrificially. We see volunteers give of themselves completely, and we see homebuyers work extremely hard to help their family’s future. Witnessing that much grace changes us.”
-Habitat Kent staff member
Habitat Kent is focused on recruiting a diverse and equitable workforce, and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
For the past five years Habitat Kent has been bringing all of our partners together to accomplish more than we ever thought was possible in the Roosevelt Park neighborhood, but our role has outgrown our capacity to fill those expectations. We are now looking for someone to provide support as we continue our role as the convener of the collaborative Plaza Roosevelt project.
We are looking for someone who can assist us in the regular management that comes along with this role: setting agendas, preparing meetings, and coordinating with partners to host meetings on a rotating basis. This person will also work with us to help the partnership function more smoothly, now and in the future.
This will be a contract-based position working with Habitat Kent through the end of June 2020. The information in the Call for Applications outlines more details of the project and what we are looking for in a qualified partner. If anyone has questions about the project, or if they would like to schedule a time to discuss the project with our staff, we are happy to talk to you! Please reach out to JoAnn Smith (616) 588-5248 or jsmith@habitatkent.org to schedule a time prior to the application deadline.
The complete Call for Applications can be found here: Plaza Roosevelt Project Manager Call for Applications
All applications should follow the format outlined in the Call for Applications. Submit proposals to JoAnn Smith, jsmith@habitatkent.org, by 5:00pm on September 18.
