JOB VACANCY

PROGRAM DIRECTOR

HR Consulting Solutions is a national executive search firm that has been retained by Lifeline Recovery Center to conduct a search for a Program Director for their men’s residential campus in Paducah, KY.

ABOUT LIFELINE RECOVERY CENTER

Lifeline Recovery Center is a nonprofit, faith-based addiction recovery program with a mission to restore individuals and families impacted by substance use. At the men's residential campus, Lifeline serves individuals who many have given up on—those navigating incarceration, homelessness, and years of broken relationships. The organization’s mission is to help them reclaim their lives with structure, accountability, grace, and support. This is not just work, it’s a calling.

POSITION SUMMARY

Reporting directly to the Director of Operations, the Program Director is a high-impact leadership role responsible for the day-to-day operations of the men’s residential campus. This individual will oversee programming, supervise a team of up to 15 staff, and help guide a residential population of approximately 70 men through a faith-driven recovery journey. Success in this role means leading by example, upholding standards, and helping both clients and staff grow into the best version of themselves. This is a fast-paced, emotionally demanding role that requires clarity, confidence, discipline, and compassion. The right candidate will demonstrate servant leadership, emotional maturity, and strong boundaries while working alongside clients and staff toward lasting transformation.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS

Provide strong, servant-minded leadership for the day-to-day operations of the men’s residential program, ensuring structure, consistency, and alignment with Lifeline’s recovery model.

Apply individualized strategies and interventions as outlined in each resident’s person-centered treatment plan.

Conduct random room checks, campus inspections, and after-hours searches as needed to maintain a safe and orderly environment.

Lead by example in maintaining a clean, presentable, and professional campus at all times, including grounds, facilities, and vehicles.

Uphold high standards of fiscal stewardship by managing program budgets and resources responsibly, seeking cost-effective solutions and eliminating waste.

Navigate challenges with diplomacy, negotiating, mediating, and advocating for residents while maintaining accountability.
