Employee Application

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in employment at the Little Light House. We are a Christian ministry whose mission is to glorify God by improving the quality of life for children with special needs, their families, and communities in Jackson, in our country and throughout the world.

God uses others who value children with special needs and who love our model of ministry, to support us. Little Light House would not exist without the very generous and faithful support of the community. The funding for this ministry comes from the Lord through numerous means, such as individuals, churches, corporations, and private grants. All services are provided tuition-free to the students and their families. We honor God’s love for and value of children with special needs by providing them early intervention up to age six, as well as support for their family. We do this primarily through a developmentally rich classroom experience for each child, combining God’s love with the innovation and best practices of our educational and therapeutic team. Our vision is to change paradigms for children with special needs throughout the world! We are doing this by following Biblical principles and actively engaging and training volunteers, donors, college, and career students. At every opportunity, we are inviting people into the extended LLH Family to help children with special needs to thrive. We embrace growth and the expanse of our influence; our children deserve this. It is part of being a light; the Little Light House. If you have not done so yet, please go to our website at https://www.llhms.org/our-story/ and watch a video about us.

Attached you will find the Employment Application. All individuals who feel called by our Lord to employment at LLH are welcome to apply. All applications will be reviewed and acknowledged.
