• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Reliable, patient, and emotionally aware
• Ability to work independently in the community
• Basic comfort with technology for documentation

Preferred

• Experience working with adults or older adults
• Prior experience in mental health or community-based services

Work Structure
