Position Overview: Gratitude House is seeking a compassionate and organized House Manager to join our mission-driven team. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of women striving for long-term sobriety by fostering a safe, supportive, and structured environment.

Our vision is to have a live-in House Manager, with room and utilities included as part of the compensation package.

Please consider the position even if the live-in option does not work for you.

The ideal candidate is an active and committed member of a 12-step program, thrives in a collaborative environment, possesses both good boundaries and great empathy, and is passionate about empowering women. You will be supported by a dynamic team of women dedicated to 12-step recovery.

If you’re a former teacher, nurse, counselor, social worker, healthcare professional, peer support specialist—or anyone with strong interpersonal and organizational skills—this could be a deeply rewarding next chapter for you!
