    About the role

    Responsibilities

    • Act in accordance with Victory Programs’ Standards of Excellence at all times, including maintaining professional ethics, boundaries and client confidentiality.
    • Provide daily support to clients experiencing mental health episodes, and who are actively using substances.
    • Support staff in their engagement and interactions with clients.

    • Ensure program integrity and safety, support clients and address any issues as they arise.

    • Engage clients in an ongoing assessment of needs, connection to services, and review cases and progress in individual and staff meetings.
    • Conduct biopsychosocial need assessments with clients, when indicated, to determine service needs, referrals and potential service plan goals and objectives.
    • Work collaboratively with case managers and other staff to implement client service plans, including helping to facilitate referrals to appropriate resources as needed.
    • Partner with the Clinical Director of Housing in identifying specific clinical learning needs of staff and plan appropriate in‑service training if requested.
    • Create agendas for case conferences for staff as requested.

    • Attend clinical and administrative supervision, staff meetings, and periodic professional development trainings and workshops as requested by supervisor.
    We could also include Non-Essential Functions as part of Responsibilities or separate section "Additional duties". But we might combine them under Responsibilities? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Non-Essential Functions are also duties. Could add another
      under a heading "Additional duties" or just extend the same list. To preserve all info, we should include them. Could add a second
      under same heading or a separate heading "Additional duties". Since we prefer few substantive sections, maybe we add a second
      under Responsibilities but separate with a heading? Could add a heading "Additional duties". But that would be another section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding another section may be okay if it's substantive. However we could merge Non-Essential Functions into Responsibilities as they are also duties. That would preserve all info without extra heading. Let's do that: combine both Essential and Non-Essential into one list under Responsibilities. That preserves all duties. Thus we need to add the Non-Essential Functions items to the list. Non-Essential Functions list: - Attend weekly staff and clinical team meetings, in-service trainings and agency workshops. - Participate and support the agency in program events, State House rallies, fundraising and advocacy events, rallies, walks and any additional functions. - Transport clients to appointments as needed. - Perform any other duty or task that may be requested from time to time by your supervisor or designee. Add those to the list. Now Required Qualifications: list.

      Schedule

      Full‑time (40 hours), Monday–Friday 10 am–6 pm (flexible), on‑site

      We should not include the duplicated Salary Description. We should not include the "Position Type: Full-time (40 hours) Mon-Fri 10am-6pm (flexible) On Site." we already used. We should not include the "Victory Programs values a diverse workforce..." we omitted as possibly EEO. Might be okay to keep but it's borderline. Safer to omit. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: location mentioned in About the role. We included location. We included essential functions and non-essential. We included required qualifications. We included preferred qualifications. We included benefits. We included pay. We included schedule. We omitted the repeated salary description. We omitted the "Victory Programs has helped individuals and families in crisis for 45 years..." That's boilerplate about organization history; could be considered not essential to the job. Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The organization history is not explicitly listed but
