Oxford House

Oxford House is a company that allows you the opportunity to build relationships with rehab centers to provide a sober living environment after treatment.  Locating and renting suitable homes for recovery housing and working with landlords to provide a comfortable and workable environment for rehab residents.  So much of the job is self motivated and geared toward providing adequate training and slight supervision of homes and residents.  Trouble shooting on a daily basis concerning issues in up to 25 different homes in six different cities.

I've learned to listen intently while reviewing situations in each home and developing a possible plan of action to keep residents clean and sober as well as motivated to continue in their recovery.

The most difficult part of the job is have to expel a member of a house due to relapse or theft.  The most enjoyable part of the job is watching as a person gets their life back together and repairs the relationships with family members and friends.

Management is done from a distance.  This keeps you self motivated and task oriented if you want to continue to work in this industry.  You must be self motivated and driven to keep the recovery homes working properly and have the need for more homes.

This is a rewarding career that builds a strong professional profile and thrives on passion for the mission, with a culture and vision that make the work meaningful and diverse. While it blends administrative and independent field work rather than a traditional office setting, it requires strong self-motivation, organization, and time management to balance flexible scheduling, evening or emergency meetings, and tasks completed from home or on the road. The role allows you to wear multiple hats like networking, guiding, developing, and adapting to surprises; all while offering the freedom to integrate personal commitments and recovery into your day, provided the work gets done.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Duties vary day to day but the main role is community engagement and support to members

My day would start either on the phone or computer, trying to set up presenatations for refferalls, or just to educate people about this orginitation.
Working for this company i learned how to work with multiple people in various setting with various backgrounds.
In the state of Arkansas i got to work with, a total of eight houses and up to 57 people in these houses and learned great time management and people skills.
All my co-workers were scattered all across the United States.
The hardest part of my job was seeing someone get evicted from a house.
The most enjoyable part was seeing someone become able to move out on their own and become sucessfull in life.

Horrible experience working for this non-profit.  Zero management support, regional support is even worse.  There are a couple of “favorite” employees who get to rack up mileage, go on extensive and expensive trips while the new hires get suck managing things they aren’t trained to do.  If you stick to a 40 hour week, you will get fired for not caring about your job.  Trust me, stay away from Oxford House.  

This job has been a great experience for me.  I have met many people from the Governor of Tennessee to counselors and clients in treatment centers and jails. I am ready to set my roots somewhere in  Middle Tennessee.  I the past 2 yrs I have traveled more than 100,000 miles thru 3 states. I am ready for some stability.
