Position: Youth Development Specialist

This is an On-Call role within a 24-hour program, which includes day, swing, and night shifts. The hours and shifts for On-Call positions will vary based on program requirements. Candidates should indicate their availability in their application.

On-Call roles provide valuable hands-on experience and opportunities for professional growth. As an On-Call staff member, you will be contacted when coverage is needed for open shifts.

  • Performing light cleaning and maintenance of the facility.
  • Completing service documentation and compliance monitoring tasks.

The HOST program offers safety, support, and resources for at-risk and unsheltered young adults. Our Daytime Resource Center serves as a safe space where youth can access essential needs and support services. Our Transitional Living Program is a multi-phase initiative for enrolled young adults, providing 24-hour access to staff and resources, while working closely with Case Managers to set and achieve health, housing, education, and employment goals.

Qualifications:

  • At least one year of experience working with youth or young adult populations is required.
  • Experience with at-risk youth or young adults is preferred.
  • Education qualification exceptions may be considered if experience requirements are met.
  • Oregon Driver's License and proof of auto insurance are required, as this position involves driving, and a motor vehicle report will be conducted prior to hire.
