1 week ago
Do you enjoy getting to know someone and coaching them towards achieving their goals related to work, relationships, and independent living? You could make a difference in someone's life every day as a Residential Support Specialist (RSS) working with young adults between the ages of 17-24.
Residential Support Specialists work one-on-one and in groups with youth experiencing mental health challenges. Within the residential setting, you will assist the clients as they learn and practice skills related to what matters most to young people: relationships, school success, recreational activities, health and wellness, early career experiences, and day-to-day living. You will also ensure safety by helping youth regulate and safely express their emotions, including using Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) skills. During an average day, you will teach independent living skills like hygiene and housekeeping, help residents prepare meals, model relationship building skills, and coach youth on coping skills.
Not only do you help clients develop key independent living skills, you are also fostering a safe and inviting living environment by regularly cleaning the residence. You will see their progress and document their experiences, success with medication management, and recovery process as they transition to adulthood.
To succeed in this role, you need:
* Passion for mental health advocacy
* Effective communication and relationship-building skills
* Compassion and respect while working in someone's home
* Patience and willingness to meet youth where they're at
* Good writing skills and attention to detail
* Valid driver's license
* To be at least 23 years old
* Availability for the following schedule: Friday and Saturday 11pm - 7am
There are multiple educational pathways to be eligible for this role:
* High School diploma or GED certificate, at least 5 years of direct service experience in the mental health field, and at least 25 years of age.
* Associates degree or higher in a related field and at least 21 years of age.
What sets Thresholds apart:
* Competitive pay - Base rate: $20.75 - 23.00 per hour
* Commensurate with education and experience
* 403(b) retirement plan with 3% employer match
* Cell phone reimbursement (up to $50/month)
