  • Working with the treatment team, community resources, and support systems to maintain and implement treatment goals.
  • Maintaining accurate and timely clinical documentation.
  • Transporting and/or accompanying clients to medical and other appointments as needed.
Work hours typically follow a Monday – Friday schedule. Must have availability for occasional evening and/or weekend work. You will have independence and flexibility to schedule your appointments and complete your work under the program director’s direct approval and supervision.
