• Take a proactive approach to assist with assigned cases (eg. help schedule appointments, complete applications, make reminder calls, etc.)
• Maintain client privacy and uphold confidentiality at all times.
• Participate in weekly team meetings, workshops, and trainings to expand knowledge of department priorities, while remaining current on new developments, as required.
• Ability to commute to and from client’s homes.
