Demonstrated Skills & Competencies
- Ability to prioritize and manage time effectively.
- Excellent attention to detail required, with a demonstrated ability to interpret and navigate complex and interconnected state and federal contracts simultaneously while also maintaining program compliance.
- Commitment to providing high quality services in support of clients, in accordance with standards set forth by MCCH.
- Ability to think critically, exercise sound judgment, and proactively seek solutions to problems clients encounter in accessing public benefits and navigating related processes and systems.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required, including fluency in both writing and speaking English.
- Adept in working cross-culturally and with individuals with limited English proficiency.
- Bilingual in one or more languages preferred
- Proficient in Microsoft Office programs, internet applications and relational database use, including comfort using online platforms to submit benefits applications and check status of applications and benefits.
