    Do you enjoy getting to know someone and coaching them towards achieving their goals related to work, relationships, and independent living? You could make a difference in someone's life every day as a Residential Support Specialist (RSS) working with young adults between the ages of 16-21.

    Residential Support Specialists work one-on-one and in groups with youth experiencing mental health challenges.

    Not only do you help clients develop key independent living skills, you are also fostering a safe and inviting living environment by regularly cleaning the residence.

    You will see their progress and document their experiences, success with medication management, and recovery process as they transition to adulthood.

    • Passion for mental health advocacy
    • Effective communication and relationship-building skills
    • Compassion and respect while working in someone's home
    • Patience and willingness to meet youth where they're at
    • Good writing skills and attention to detail
