Why FPTV?

• Comprehensive Benefits: FPTV understands the importance of employee well-being. That’s why we offer a generous, employer-assisted benefits package for part-time employees that includes long-term disability, life insurance, a monthly HRA contribution, and eligibility for a 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Work-Life Balance: We value our employees’ time and prioritize a healthy work-life balance. Part-time employees receive paid time off (PTO) that accrues based on hours worked, along with paid sick time and paid holidays on a prorated basis. Employees also receive a personal health and wellness day, prorated based on scheduled hours. Hourly employees receive a paid 30-minute lunch break during qualifying shifts.
• Family-Friendly Policies: We know life doesn’t stop when the workday begins. FPTV is a family-friendly organization that supports personal and family commitments—and yes, we’re dog-friendly too! You’ll often spot four-legged friends at the shelter spreading joy. That said, pups are only allowed in roles and spaces that safely accommodate them—typically private offices or those with a door to close... just in case your dog sees something very exciting (never happens, right?).
• Continuous Learning and Growth: Join a team that values growth and ongoing learning. At FPTV, we believe that by supporting one another’s development, we can more effectively serve families and advocate for lasting change in housing equity.
• Equity and Inclusion: FPTV is committed to building an inclusive workplace where all voices are respected and valued. We actively engage with diverse communities and work to evolve our practices through listening, learning, and implementing community-centered solutions.
