  • Strong relationship-building skills with community organizations and stakeholders.
  • Proficiency in using technology for documentation and reporting.
  • Effective time management and the ability to work under pressure while maintaining confidentiality.
  • Willingness to learn and apply principles of Harm Reduction, Trauma-Informed Care, and Housing First.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Flexibility to adjust work hours to accommodate family schedules.
  • Adaptability to a dynamic work environment.

Education and Experience Requirements:
