Guest Experiences Specialist Jobs in Oklahoma City, OK at The CARE Center
Title: Guest Experiences Specialist
Company: The CARE Center
Location: Oklahoma City, OK
Job Summary:
The Guest Experiences Coordinator is the first face and voice of The CARE Center, often the very first person a family meets on what may be the hardest days of their lives. This role is fundamentally about hospitality: creating a warm, calm, and safe first impression for children and families navigating trauma, while also ensuring smooth day-to-day operations at the front of the house. This position is also responsible for greeting, assisting, and providing direction and information to partners, volunteers, visitors, and other guests of The CARE Center.
Duties/Responsibilities:
Hospitality & Client Care
• Greets every client, partner, visitor, and guest with warmth, patience, and genuine care,
recognizing that many guests arrive frightened, grieving, or in crisis.
• Creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere in waiting and client spaces – attentive to tone, body
language, and the needs of children and caregivers alike.
• Keeps client spaces clean, stocked, and comfortable – snacks, water, tissues, and other comfort
items on hand and refreshed.
• Notices and responds to unspoken needs: a child who needs a distraction, a caregiver who needs a
quiet moment, a family who needs a translator.
• Serves as a steady, reassuring presence during high-stress or crisis moments, without becoming
visibly rattled.

• Strong cultural competence and sensitivity working with diverse families and multi-agency
partners.
