We believe in empowering our clients through advocacy, access to resources, and personalized assistance designed to meet their individual needs.
This position offers the flexibility of remote work, allowing you to conduct client assessments and consultations from the comfort of your own space. However, the role does require the ability to make in-person visits when necessary to monitor client well-being, assess living conditions, and assure client safety. Our work hours are generally Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with occasional evening or weekend hours based on client needs.
