Summary

Are you a compassionate, resourceful professional with a passion for supporting individuals facing addiction, mental health challenges, and complex life circumstances? We're looking for someone who can meet people where they are--emotionally, physically, and socially--and help guide them toward stability, recovery, and personal growth.

About the Role

This position supports individuals with addiction and mental health concerns, often compounded by brain injuries, disabilities, and high-risk environments. You'll provide direct outreach and personalized support, using a trauma-informed, harm-reduction approach combined with life coaching techniques to foster trust, safety, and empowerment.

Key Responsibilities

Provide daily support tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. Build strong, trusting relationships while maintaining firm and respectful boundaries. Use life coaching and motivational interviewing techniques to support personal development. Conduct ongoing safety assessments and respond to crises as needed. Collaborate with guardians, healthcare providers, PDD, agencies, and support networks. Assist clients in accessing addiction treatment, housing, healthcare, and social services. Maintain accurate documentation and case notes. Ensure transportation needs are met (personal vehicle required; driving clearance documents needed).

Qualifications & Requirements

Experience working with individuals affected by addiction, mental health issues, and disabilities. Strong understanding of harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention. Valid driver's license and driving clearance (mileage reimbursed). Police clearance and intervention training certificate. First aid certification (or willingness to obtain). Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work independently and manage lone-worker safety protocols. Quick thinking, adaptability, and calmness under pressure. Commitment to respectful, person-centered care.

What We Offer

Supportive and inclusive team environment. Ongoing training and professional development. Health benefits for full-time staff. Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in someone's life every day.
