💙 A heart for advocacy and a passion for empowering others. 🎓 A degree in Social Work, Psychology, or a related field (preferred). 🗣️ Bilingual (Spanish) skills? That's a big plus! 💡 Experience in residential or supportive settings is preferred but not required-we care more about your commitment to making a difference. 💪 Strong interpersonal skills and an understanding of trauma-informed care.
Why Join Us?
🌟 Monday-Friday, 8-hour shifts, with on-call. 🌟 Be part of a mission-driven team that truly cares. 🌟 See the tangible impact of your work every single day. 🌟 A workplace that values compassion, growth, and teamwork.
Your work here won't just be a job-it will be life-changing. If you're ready to step into a role where every action, every word, and every moment matters, we'd love to meet you.
