Professional Attributes
We expect all staff to project and exemplify passion to a faith-based approach to advocacy for the guests, to be humble, supportive team players, who acknowledge their own gifts and those of others, are truthfully transparent, seek input from others, admit and learn from mistakes, are highly coachable and approachable. We expect a hungry, innovative, goal-oriented, eager contributor, who shows a dedicated work ethic toward the goals of our mission and the benefit of our guests, and not out of selfish ambition. We expect our staff to exhibit empathy, compassion, active listening, to be self- aware, sensitive across racial, class and cultural lines, ethical, and approachable. We look for work habits of punctuality, dependability, accountability, responsibility, cooperation, team participation, integrity, problem solving, and overall positivity.
These attributes, combined with the performance of one’s duties and achievement of goals will be equated with the quality of one’s overall job performance.
Personal Well of Faith
Our staff members are successful and healthy when they have a deep well of faith upon which to draw in times of stress. They recognize the need for spiritual care and refreshing, and that without God we can do nothing, and that only with God are all things possible. The successful staff member intentionally spends time each day abiding in the presence of God and in His word, meets regularly with other believers or spiritual mentors in prayer and in accountability to God’s word, and regularly spends time in a larger faith community in praise worship and the study of God’s character and will.
