The Case Manager Apprentice will join the permanent supportive housing team for up to five weeks of training through educational sessions and site-based skills shadowing opportunities.

Case Manager Apprentices will work to assess individualized client needs and coordinate multiple services to help clients meet goals.


Supervision and evaluation will occur throughout the five-week program providing important feedback aimed at supporting professional growth and readiness for entering full-time case management positions following apprenticeship completion.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

8. Review and practice time management strategies effective in community-based settings to support balance between client engagement and administrative responsibilities.
9. Participate in weekly trainings, staff meetings, supervision, and evaluations.
10. Contribute to work setting that emphasizes Client choice, harm-reduction, trauma-informed care, housing-first principles, and professional boundaries.
11. Engage in training around crisis assessment and intervention skills and practice de-escalation.
12. Build field safety skills necessary for community work including home visits, transportation, and accompaniment.

This is a 5 week training process, but, like with any job, this position can be terminated by either party with or without reason before the 5 week completion. Poor performance, poor attendance and violations of policy are a few reasons why a trainee might be dismissed sooner than the 5 week completion.

Sick days, if you miss 8 hours of any Wednesday meetings, or any 16 hours of any other days during the cohort (Weds missed time counts as double for calculation), you will not be eligible to graduate from our program and you will need to apply for a future cohort to complete from the beginning.

  2. Demonstrate a sense of responsibility
  3. Continuously learn and improve
  4. Acknowledge your own areas of improvement
