Documentation & Compliance Maintain timely, accurate case notes, service plans, and progress updates in accordance with program, funder, and regulatory standards. Track and report client outcomes across programs, ensuring consistency in data entry and compliance. Adhere to confidentiality and ethical standards of practice. Team Collaboration & Inter-Program Work Participate in interdisciplinary case reviews to promote inter-programmatic planning and accountability. Provide coverage and support across DFSS Interim, NPTS, Veterans, and Recovery Home programs as needed. Contribute to the development of best practices that reduce silos and strengthen A Safe Haven’s integrated model of care. Advocacy & Support Advocate for client access to services and fair treatment across systems of care. Provide crisis intervention, de-escalation, and conflict resolution support as needed. Encourage client accountability, empowerment, and engagement in recovery and stability goals. Qualifications Required: Master’s degree in social work (MSW), OR Bachelor’s degree in Social Work with LSW licensure. For Master’s applicants: LSW or LCSW strongly preferred. Minimum 1–2 years of experience providing case management, counseling, or clinical services in housing, recovery, or justice-involved settings. Strong knowledge of trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and evidence-based recovery and re-entry practices. Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
