Description
For 52 years Outside In has transformed thousands of lives by helping break the cycles of chronic homelessness, poverty, and poor health among Portland's LGBTQIA+ community, people of color, those experiencing homelessness, and the underserved. Our health clinic and young adult programs strive to meet people where they are and provide safe, affirming spaces for our community to receive judgment-free care and support.
The Outside In Transitional Living Program provides 24/7 support to the young adults living on-site. This requires us to have a team of on-call Youth Specialists who can cover vacations or sick time off.
Youth Specialists assist in facilitating the day-to-day services offered in both the Day Services Program and the Transitional Living Program. Support for Day Program and Housing Program services can include assisting with youth skill-building activities including healthy recreation and art activities, food preparation, and helping ensure safe and respectful program spaces. Youth Specialists are also responsible for utilizing a harm reduction and trauma-informed approach and responding to crises. The long-term goal of the Day Program and Housing Program is to help youth build the skills needed for self-sufficiency and to be successful in their plan to exit street life.
On-Call Youth Specialists must be available to fill any shift, days, swing, or overnight. 24-hour availability is required.
This is a represented position. Union membership is a requirement.
As an on-call employee, you have quick access to apply for open full-time positions at Outside In.
We are an equal-opportunity employer dedicated to workforce diversity. Multicultural and intersecting diversities are highly valued.
