• Participate in staff meetings, supervision, training, chart reviews, and other quality-assurance activities
• Maintain confidentiality and communicate with families, colleagues, and partners with respect, dignity, and kindness

You’ll also provide emergency support when needed, which may include coordinating with law enforcement, psychiatric services, community agencies, and other Homeward Bound staff.

What We’re Looking For:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in social work, psychology, human services, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Two to three years of experience working with under-resourced or low-income populations
• Experience with case management, housing services, resource navigation, or community engagement
