About the Role

The Topeka Rescue Mission is seeking a servant-hearted leader to join our team as the Assistant Director of Main’s Shelter Operations .

In this vital role, you’ll partner closely with the Director of Main Shelter Operations to oversee the daily activities, safety, and ministry happening within our Men’s Shelter. You’ll help ensure that the shelter operates smoothly, that staff are supported and equipped, and that every guest experiences dignity, compassion, and the transforming love of Christ.

This is more than an operations role — it’s a ministry opportunity to lead by example, encourage your team spiritually, and make a tangible difference in the lives of men on their journey toward restoration and independence.

What You’ll Do

Lead and Support the Team

  • Assist the Director in leading and supporting Shelter Operators, staff, and volunteers.
  • Participate in hiring, training, and scheduling team members.
  • Help lead weekly staff meetings and performance reviews.
  • Encourage team development and spiritual growth rooted in biblical values.

Oversee Daily Operations

  • Help manage the day-to-day functions of the Main Shelter.
  • Support the implementation of safety and operational policies across facilities.
  • Respond to guest needs, incidents, and emergencies.
  • Coordinate supplies, food, and clothing needs.
  • Ensure proper handling of guest belongings, medications, and restricted items.
  • Administer and document drug and sobriety screenings.
  • Assist with emergency response coordination at the Main Shelter and other TRM facilities.
  • Care for Guests

  • Support guests in collaboration with case management and partner agencies.
  • Assist in enforcing shelter guidelines with grace, consistency, and fairness.
  • Participate in reconciliation meetings to help restore services when possible.
  • Maintain a ministry-minded approach that reflects the heart of Christ in every interaction.
  • Collaborate and Communicate

  • Partner with internal departments (Guest Management, CaRE, etc.) to ensure seamless support for guests.
  • Build and maintain relationships with community organizations, health providers, and agencies.
  • Represent TRM and the Men’s Shelter at community meetings and events.
  • Administrative & Leadership Support

  • Help maintain accurate records and reports.
  • Assist with payroll and timesheet approvals.
  • Ensure confidentiality in all personnel and guest matters.
  • Share on-call responsibilities with shelter leadership.
  • What We’re Looking For

    Education & Experience

  • Associate degree in Human Services, Social Work, Ministry, or related field preferred.
  • High School diploma / GED with 3+ years of relevant experience required.
  • Experience in crisis management, supervision, and working with vulnerable populations.
  • Skills & Attributes

  • Compassionate, Christ-centered leadership.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to remain calm and make sound decisions under pressure.
  • A genuine heart for sharing the hope of Jesus through words and actions.
  • Team-oriented mindset with integrity, humility, and professionalism.
  • Other Requirements

  • Valid driver’s license and insurable under TRM policy.
  • Ability to lift up to 30 lbs and respond quickly in emergencies.
  • Why Join TRM?

    At the Topeka Rescue Mission, you’ll find more than a workplace — you’ll find a mission field. Each day, you’ll have the opportunity to lead with purpose, serve with compassion, and witness lives transformed by the love of Christ.

    If you feel called to help lead a team that meets both the physical and spiritual needs of men in crisis, we invite you to apply and be part of what God is doing through TRM.
