Join a Mission That Changes Lives

At the Crisis Center of Comal County, we believe every survivor deserves safety, dignity, and the opportunity to rebuild. Our mission is to embrace survivors of crisis and trauma and empower them to positively change the trajectory of their lives.

Every day, survivors take courageous steps toward a safer future. As a Case Manager, you'll walk beside them during that journey—helping individuals and families overcome barriers, achieve stability, secure permanent housing, and build the confidence and skills needed for lasting independence.

If you're passionate about empowering others through compassionate, trauma-informed support, we'd love to have you on our team.

About the Role

As a Case Manager, you will provide comprehensive, trauma-informed case management services to individuals and families living in our emergency shelter and continue supporting them after they transition into permanent housing. You'll assess client needs, develop individualized service plans, coordinate resources, advocate for clients, and provide ongoing encouragement as they work toward their personal goals.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships, solving complex problems, and collaborating with both internal teams and community partners to help survivors create brighter futures.

• Support clients throughout their shelter stay and continue providing post-housing case management to help families maintain permanent housing and achieve lasting stability.
• Coordinate shelter intake, orientation, client transitions, transportation, referrals, and connections to community resources including housing, employment, healthcare, childcare, behavioral health, legal services, and public benefits.
• Facilitate individual case management meetings, support groups, life-skills classes, and house meetings that encourage personal growth and successful program completion.

• Build collaborative relationships with landlords, housing providers, schools, employers, healthcare organizations, and community agencies to expand opportunities for clients.
• Maintain accurate documentation, electronic case records, service plans, assessments, and grant-related reporting while ensuring compliance with agency policies and confidentiality standards.
• Participate in multidisciplinary case reviews, agency trainings, and the Sexual Assault Crisis Response on-call rotation while collaborating closely with shelter staff to provide exceptional client care.
