Job Description

Love Justice Center Grounds and Facilities Manager

Full Job Description

About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit organization compelled by God's love to fight the world's greatest injustices. We fight injustice in two primary ways: through our expanding anti-human trafficking work and by caring for orphaned and abandoned children. We currently work throughout Asia and Africa.


Position Type: Full Time; Support-Raised*; Overseas (South Asia)

  • If hired, the candidate will be required to raise financial support to cover his/her own salary, benefits, and expenses. Raising support is a key example of the body of Christ supporting its members and joining in the fight against injustice. LJI will provide administrative and prayer support throughout the process, as well as guidance and resources to build up a support base. Please prayerfully consider whether you may be called to step out in faith and raise support for this position.


Position Level: Field Liaison


Position Overview: LJI operates 17 family homes and one young adult hostel for orphaned and abandoned children in Asia providing for over 200 children. Our mission is to help them become difference-makers for Christ by providing stable, loving, family-like homes that are developmentally enriching in every way. At the heart of our Family Homes program is the Love Justice Center, a plot of land on which four of these homes are located.

LJI has developed a plan to tend and care for the Center grounds to give the children living there the most beautiful and ordered environment in which to grow up. The Grounds and Facilities Manager will oversee the Love Justice Center, along with all those that work there, implementing and monitoring these processes and other best practices to ensure that the Center remains well taken care of year-round.

  • Assisting the Director of Family Homes to strengthen existing policies and processes regarding the Center and its care
  • Helping new staff settle in, including finding a house, purchasing furniture, getting set up with the necessities, and generally supporting them
  • Finding ways (either through the Love Justice School, or working directly with the homes outside of school) to teach the kids practical skills and the value of hard work, including gardening and grounds management, construction, woodworking, sports, etc.


Qualifications:
