    Who You Are

     

    You’re a passionate, empathetic problem-solver with a deep understanding of mental health and substance abuse challenges. You’re ready to empower individuals and help them regain their confidence and stability. You believe in the power of community and collaboration, and you’re committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those you support.

    What You’ll Bring to the Table

    + **Relevant Background** : A degree in Psychology, Social Work, or a similar field—or a solid combo of education and real-world experience.

    + **Great with People** : You’re a strong communicator, active listener, and know how to build trust and motivate others.

    + **Natural Leader** : You support your team, share what you know, and help lift others up.

    + **Culturally Aware** : You’re at ease working with people from all walks of life and committed to creating inclusive spaces.

    + **Adaptable** : Things change fast in this field, and you’re ready to roll with it—thinking on your feet and solving problems creatively.

    + **Ready to Drive (If Needed)** : For roles that involve driving, you’ll meet all the safety and compliance standards.

    + **Growth-Minded** : Especially in Employment Services, you're ready to earn your Benefits Planning certification within a year. Learning is your thing.

    + **Field-Ready** : You’ll be out in the community, meeting people where they are—homes, centers, or drop-in spaces. Flexibility is key.

    + **Organized & On Point** : You keep paperwork and compliance in check, so nothing slips through the cracks.

    + **Always Learning** : From onboarding to leadership training, you’re excited to grow and keep leveling up.

    Qualifications:

    + Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Psychology, Nursing, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

    + Prior experience working with individuals with severe mental illness or in a community-based setting preferred.

    + Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.

    + Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team.

    + Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.

    + Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required (some travel within the community is expected).
