About You

You love Jesus. You love kids. You love finding needles in haystacks and placing them where they belong.

As the Recruiting Coordinator, you are analytical, focused and efficient. You possess successful administrative and organizational skills and have exceptional written and oral communications skills.

As a results-driven and self-motivated individual, you are able to juggle candidates in all phases of the recruiting cycle with confidence and professionalism. Your colleagues value your insight and rely on you to effectively source, screen and participate in onboarding new employees.

At the end of the day, you do what it takes to get things done. Most importantly, you know this isn't just a job. It's a chance to do something meaningful. A chance to serve others. And a chance to make a life-changing impact on students with the gospel.

LifeWise Academy's hiring practices and EEO Statement are fully in compliance with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception to the "religion" section of employment discrimination laws for religious organizations and permits them to give employment preference to members of their own religion. LifeWise Academy is in that category.

Additional Details

Decades ago, our nation systematically removed Bible education from the public school day. LifeWise Academy is bringing it back. Under a little-known Supreme Court ruling, LifeWise empowers communities to provide Bible education for their public school students DURING SCHOOL HOURS. Tens of thousands of public school students attend LifeWise Bible classes each week.

We believe released time is the greatest missed opportunity of the church in America to reach the next generation. But we want to change that and we need your help!
