Peer Case Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Our mission is to care for our clients, help those in need and direct them to the way of safety.

How will you impact your clients’ lives?

You’ll be using your expertise to help your clients set their mental health goals, for example, getting housing, going back to school, finding a primary care doctor, etc.

You’ll engage in care activities to empower your clients to help them achieve their goals.

Applying your tech guru skills, you’ll collect and enter data into our case management systems, such as Relevant, so we can keep track of clients’ progress.

You’ll fight for your client's rights! As an advocate for your client, you will be the voice on their side in the battles they can not fight alone.

Whether it is working with The Department of Social Services to figure out how to handle their rent-arrears or even asking landlords to extend a client’s lease.

Who are we looking for?

We know all cases are different. Not every client’s best solution will fall into the way things have always been done . We want you to be creative and champion new ways of thinking.

The only true measure of success is positive outcomes for our clients. Each victory, whether big or small, is a victory to be celebrated!

A - Above & Beyond

Each client may bring something different on any given day that may make you step outside of your traditional role. Care Coordinators should be arriving each day with an open mind and be ready to do whatever they can for their client's best interests.
