Description
POSITION SUMMARY
Join Fountain House's newest housing innovation-The Community Apartment Program (CAP). The CAP Mental Health Social Practitioner works to help the members of the apartment program live their lives to the fullest and develop independent living skills and social connections. We use community as our tool to do this, and the CAP Mental Health Social Practitioner will use group dinners as well as outings into the neighborhood to engage the 3-4 roommates in each apartment. The group will grow their social connections, hopefully become friends, and use consensus decision making to figure out how they want their apartment set-up. We want our members to have dignified homes and to feel comfortable in their apartment and to connect with the neighborhood.
This position requires interest in community, creativity, and flexibility. There will be no typical day in CAP, but if you could see yourself fostering relationships and connections to community for adults with mental illness by cooking group dinners, taking a group to the movies, assisting someone to learn how to do their laundry at the local laundromat, advocating at a social service provider, or helping one of your members to apply to a job in the community then this could be the position for you.
The CAP Mental Health Social Practitioner will be based at our clubhouse in Hell's Kitchen and in the field at our scattered site apartments. They will work 9 am to 5 pm three days a week and 11 am to 7 pm twice each week. The evening shifts will allow them to cook dinner with their members. During the dinner they will assess the apartment for repairs, engage with the members and support their increase in socialization, social networks, and decrease loneliness and isolation. The Social Practitioner will have one paperwork day that can be taken at home. They will attend a weekly team meeting to brainstorm how to better support members and be appraised of ongoing issues. They are expected to become part of our community.
Shift: This is a full-time, in-person position, Monday to Friday.
9am to 5pm three days a week and 11am to 7pm two days a week
Salary: $29.12 per hour
