Provide recovery-oriented and trauma-informed mental health services to individuals in housing programs to promote stability and independence. Responsibilities include conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and coordinating with community partners for substance use recovery.
Requires a bachelor's degree, a professional certification (CRSS/CPRS), or a high school diploma with five years of social service experience. A valid driver's license, private auto insurance, and basic computer proficiency are also required.
Stay on top of essential paperwork—like assessments and recovery plans—to make sure our clients receive the best care possible. We aim to have all treatment plans and assessments ready before they’re due to ensure there are no gaps in service. Wrap up about 80% of your progress notes within two days of meeting with a client, keeping everyone’s records fresh and accurate. Every person is unique. You’ll provide support that’s tailored specifically to each client’s individual recovery and safety goals. Manage a consistent schedule to meet productivity goals while ensuring every client gets the attention they deserve. Handle the "behind-the-scenes" details, like getting service approvals and checking on housing referrals, so our clients can access the resources they need. We use a trauma-informed approach. This means leading with hope, respect, and empowerment to help clients feel connected and supported. Use positive, recovery-focused language in both your written notes and your daily conversations with clients. Act as a bridge, linking clients to vital resources like housing and substance use treatment. Work closely with your teammates and the client’s own support network to create the best possible outcomes. We’re in this together. You’ll attend regular meetings to brainstorm ideas, back up your teammates when they need a hand, and take on leadership opportunities as you grow. Use proven, evidence-based methods in your therapy sessions, whether you’re working with individuals, families, or groups. Whenever possible, you’ll provide services right in the community or in environments where the client feels most comfortable. We’ll help you stay sharp! You’ll complete regular trainings, earn CEUs, and participate in clinical supervision to keep your skills top-notch. Maintain the highest level of confidentiality, ensuring that our clients' personal information is always protected.
