Role OverviewThe Area Director is the execution engine of Healthy Kids Programs' field structure. They are closest to the daily work — making sure programs run well, sites are fully staffed, every site meets state licensing standards, and the principals and school staff they partner with see HKP as a reliable, responsive presence. This is a role for someone who is hands-on, organized, and energized by keeping things running well every single day.
What You Will Do
Staffing, enrollment, compliance, and building-level partnerships are key responsibilities. The Area Director will actively recruit, interview, and hire site-level staff, build and manage staff schedules, and maintain a reliable substitute bench.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate is a hands-on operator who takes ownership of the day-to-day and doesn't wait for problems to find them. They should be a clear communicator, organized, and detail-oriented, with a natural ability to coach and develop people.
