- Respond to conflicts, safety concerns, and crises professionally
- Screen residents and visitors while maintaining dignity and security
- Provide emergency support (First Aid/CPR, Narcan – training provided)
- Complete documentation (logbooks, incident reports, progress notes)
- Support fire safety procedures, inspections, and compliance
- Assist with meals, escorts, inventory, and facility upkeep
What You'll Gain
- Experience in trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and crisis intervention
- BRC-sponsored certifications (CPR/First Aid, Narcan, Fire Safety Guard, etc.)
- Clear pathways to case management, senior roles, and leadership
- Structured training, onboarding, and team support
- Tuition assistance and professional development
Who We're Looking For
- High School diploma or GED required
- Strong communication skills and basic computer proficiency
- Ability to remain calm under pressure and maintain professional boundaries
- Willingness to obtain required certifications
Preferred:
- Experience with homelessness, mental health, or substance use populations
