In this role, you will meet with veterans, caregivers, family members, and authorized representatives to assess needs, develop client specific service plans, coordinate services, connect participants to community resources, and help ensure veterans receive the support they need to remain as independent as possible. This position is ideal for someone who is organized, compassionate, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing direct service with documentation, compliance, and program accountability. The selected candidate will monitor services and spending, maintain accurate case records, communicate with VA partners and service providers, educate veterans and caregivers on program benefits and responsibilities, and help identify and resolve service gaps or risks. Currently this is a part-time opportunity working under 30 hours per week.
