• Previous experience working with individuals experiencing homelessness or in social services is highly desirable.
• Must possess reliable transportation for field visits; personal vehicle will not be used for client transportation.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with diverse populations.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the flexibility to balance fieldwork and office duties.
• Compassionate and empathetic attitude towards clients, with a commitment to supporting them in achieving stability and independence.
