RFK Community Alliance has an exciting opportunity for a full-time position to join as our Young Adult Support Living Case Manager in Lancaster, MA.
Why this job is amazing
RFK's Young Adult Supported Living Programs provide DCF-referred young adults, ages 18-22 years old, with individualized housing paired with case management and experiential learning for living independently located in the Central regions of Massachusetts. The program aims to give transition-aged youth, not only the skills and knowledge to be successful in their transition to adulthood but to provide safe and supportive ways to practice and master these skills, with graduated levels of independence, self-initiation, and decision-making.
Who We Seek
The Young Adult Supported Living Program (YASL) seeks a Case Manager (CM) that wants to make a difference in young people's lives as they transition to adulthood. The case manager reports to the Program Director and assists in implementing the RFK- YASL Program. Case managers can work with LGBTQ, Bi-cultural, and bilingual youths with respect. The case manager will ensure that all young adults receive safe, stable housing, staff support, supervision, connections to needed services, and life skills training. Case managers will carry a caseload, from Intake and assessments to discharge. The case manager will provide support to residents in establishing and maintaining housing, program activities, procedures and policy, and any other community providers.
Key Areas of Responsibility
RFK Community Alliance provides high-quality care and support to people and families facing complicated challenges. As a multi-service agency, we offer a wide range of programs serving a variety of needs across all ages, from infants to seniors. We are team players when it comes to care. We work with the people we serve, their families, schools, and other community partners to develop a network of support. We provide opportunities to build skills and confidence. We nurture strengths, determination, and resilience.
How We Promote Equity, Cultivate Leaders, and Grow Together
At RFK Community Alliance, we're dedicated to a culture where everyone can show up to work as their full authentic selves. Diversity and inclusion doesn't happen by accident; it's by design. Together we're the designers. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace makes our organization stronger. We care about including diverse perspectives and experiences throughout every level. Which is why we're committed to honoring, celebrating, and fostering diversity and inclusion on our team, in our clientele, and within our community. Our team must reflect our community and vice versa. We value, respect, and support all types of diversity across all identities including, but not limited to, ethnicity, race, gender, LGBTQIA, age, religion, and abilities. We take responsibility for the community we're creating here at RFK Community Alliance, and we're here to contribute to the progression of our society to a more inclusive and equitable one.
Why You'll Love Us
In addition to being a part of a supportive team, we offer amazing employee benefits, including:
This position is eligible for the RFK Community Alliance Sign-On Incentive in the amount of $2,500 in your first year of employment. You will receive $500 after 3 months; $500 after 6 months; $1,500 after 12 months.
Pay Range: $ $24.50 per hour
