Executive Assistant - Residential and Education

LifeScape, Sioux Falls, SD, United States


Are you a highly organized, proactive professional who thrives in fast-paced environments and loves being at the center of meaningful work? This is more than an administrative role—it’s a chance to partner with executive leadership to shape programs that directly impact lives.

At LifeScape, our mission is rooted in person‑centered care, innovation, and empowering individuals to live their fullest lives. As the Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Residential & Education Services, you’ll play a critical role in keeping operations running smoothly while contributing to strategic initiatives that matter.

Why This Role Stands Out
This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact position where your work directly supports executive decision‑making, program success, and organizational excellence. You won’t just manage calendars—you’ll help drive priorities, streamline operations, and keep big‑picture goals on track.
