Substitute Coach

Mansfield Hall • Eugene, OR

67d • Onsite

About The Position

Mansfield Hall is a living and learning community for neurodivergent college students, students who are capable of college but not yet fully ready for total independence. We organize the work around four areas: Living (independent living skills), Learning (academic and executive functioning), Giving (community involvement), and Engaging (social and emotional growth). Coaches are how all four of those actually happen. Not in a classroom, in the moment, every day.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in behavioral sciences, psychology, education, social work, or a related field
• At least one year of direct experience coaching, mentoring, tutoring, or supporting students or young adults
• Comfort making sound decisions independently while also communicating and collaborating with a team
• Capacity to support up to 50 students in a residential setting
• Reliability and flexibility to step into a shift on relatively short notice

Nice To Haves

• You'd rather solve a problem for a student than coach them through solving it themselves
• You're most comfortable in quiet, predictable work with limited interruptions
• You're uncomfortable addressing interpersonal conflict or emotions in the moment
• You have difficulty setting professional boundaries or giving clear, direct feedback
• You want deep, continuous relationships with the same students over time. This role moves across different coaching contexts as coverage is needed, with a same-day handoff rather than a long ramp-up each time

Responsibilities

• Provide direct coaching and support to residential students as they navigate daily schedules, in Community Engagement, Academic, or Connections Coach shifts as coverage is needed
• Support students' individualized Student MAPs, and help build social, independent living, and community engagement skills
• De-escalate emotional situations and address well-being concerns as they come up
• Facilitate positive social interactions in common spaces, during meals, and at community activities
• Document progress using our tracking systems, with a same-day handoff so you're never walking in blind
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team on student support

Benefits

• Medical insurance, with the premium cost shared between Mansfield Hall and the employee, plus an HSA option
• Employer-funded wellness dollars
• Free meals and drinks during your shift
• 401(k) retirement plan with a 4% employer match
• Paid time off, plus paid winter break
• Disability and life insurance coverage
• Work expense reimbursement
