Position Detail

Area Coordinator/ Coordinator of Identity Based Housing

Hampshire College, an independent, innovative liberal arts institution and member of the Five College consortium, is accepting applications for an area coordinator/coordinator of identity based housing to begin immediately.

The area coordinator is an active and visible 11-month, live-in professional staff member who provides 24-hour/day leadership and supervision support for a residential community of approximately 200 - 400 students.  The area coordinator creates a community inclusive of diverse populations; provides non-clinical counseling; takes part in after-hours emergency response rotation; plans academic and social programming; develops and supervises 7 – 10 student residential staff; serves as a low-level conduct hearing administrator; and administers housing procedures.

The area coordinator serves as a liaison in Residence Life who must demonstrate experience in supporting students of color, international, LGBTQ and intersectionality.

This arises from our commitment to fostering diverse, socially just, and inclusive communities.

A graduate degree with a minimum of one-year of job-related experience is required. Previous experiences with community development, programming in a residential setting, multicultural education or advising are strongly preferred. This professional must have an understanding of Student Development Theory; strong supervisory and problem-solving skills; have an attention to detail for budget tracking; and have experience with computer programs and social media applications. Candidate must be able to accommodate a flexible work schedule. This position requires a valid driver’s license and successful completion of the College’s defensive driving training course. The area coordinator must have the ability to go up and down stairs. A commitment to working with people from diverse backgrounds is essential.
