• Reinforce house expectations, community agreements, curfews, visitor policies, medication-storage procedures, and established routines consistently and respectfully.
• Provide non-clinical reminders for residents to take prescribed medications according to their individual self-administration plans and complete required reminder or self-administration documentation. Staff do not administer medication.
• Observe changes in resident mood, behavior, functioning, or safety; document objective observations and promptly communicate concerns.
• Use calm de-escalation, crisis-prevention, and positive behavior-support strategies during conflicts, relapse concerns, emotional distress, or other incidents; follow emergency procedures when required.
• Complete timely shift notes, incident reports, behavioral observations, assigned logs, transportation records, and shift handoffs in the electronic health record while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
• Help residents follow individualized goals and support plans within the role and training; report progress, barriers, and emerging needs to the Program Director.
• Assist with resident orientation and collection of non-clinical intake information when assigned.
• Collaborate with coaches, the Program Director, therapists, psychiatrists, social workers, family members, and other authorized providers to support consistent follow-through and coordinated care.
• Transport residents to appointments, meetings, errands, work, school, or community activities when assigned and authorized.
• Assist with light housekeeping, supply organization, meal support, safety checks, and maintaining clean shared spaces. Required qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in psychology, social work, counseling, behavioral science, human services, or a related field.
• At least 21 years of age.
• Calm, respectful, and effective communication during conflict, emotional distress, or unexpected situations.
• Strong observation, documentation, organization, and follow-through skills.
• Reliable judgment and the ability to follow policies, safety procedures, and escalation protocols.
• Working knowledge of mental health support, trauma-informed care, crisis prevention, de-escalation, and positive behavior-support practices.
• Ability to collect objective behavioral information, write clear progress notes, and maintain accurate electronic health records in accordance with HIPAA and confidentiality requirements.
• Excellent communication skills for resident engagement, shift handoffs, and collaboration with team members, families, and outside providers as authorized.

• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and automobile insurance when driving is part of an assigned shift.
• Ability to pass required background and employment screening. Helpful experience
• Behavioral health, mental health, substance use recovery, sober living, residential care, case management, or another human-services setting.

• Internship, volunteer, peer-support, research, or campus leadership experience.
• Experience supporting adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs.
• Familiarity with PTSD-informed, person-centered, recovery-oriented, and positive behavior-support approaches.
