Restorative Residential Program Coordinator
About The Position
The Community Living Apartments Program offers two types of living arrangements: Maple Street and Satellite apartments. Both include support and guidance through individualized service plans created in partnership with the service recipient. The first step in treatment is defining and developing a rehabilitation plan which aids a person's movement to the next stage in their recovery. This individualized, highly detailed plan clarifies needs, charts a course of action and provides the framework to evaluate progress. Services available to residents include crisis intervention, rehabilitation counseling, social and living skills development (money management, personal hygiene, food preparation, meal planning, recreation activities, etc.), symptom and medication management, community integration and resource development. On duty around the clock staff work closely with each resident to maximize stability and help in the transition to a less restrictive environment. Longer term assistance is available for people with problems preventing them from living outside a supportive setting. Individuals must be well motivated and committed to making a difference in people's lives. Good listening, writing and verbal skills required. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently.
