• Collaborative Care: Work with a network of providers and support agencies to build individualized, person-centered care plans that truly make a difference.
• Engagement: Provide face to face outreach, engagement, and service planning in the field including clients' homes, shelters, and hospitals

• Bilingual preferred (but not required—we welcome all qualified, compassionate applicants)
• One (1) year of related human services experience required in providing direct services to clients diagnosed with severe mental illness, HIV/AIDS or other disabilities, in order to link them to a broad range of services essential to successfully living in the community.
• You must have the ability and willingness to regularly travel, in some instances with clients in Agency vehicle to many locations using various modes of reliable and safe transportation
• Strong communication, organizational, and advocacy skills
• A deep sense of purpose and a commitment to serving vulnerable communities
• Mission-Driven Work: Every day, you’ll play a key role in helping people overcome real obstacles and access life-changing care.
