This position plays a critical role in helping youth stabilize during crisis, reconnect with safe supports, and move toward long term positive outcomes. If you are committed to trauma informed care and believe every young person deserves safety and dignity, we would love to hear from you.

What You Will Do

As a Shelter Case Manager, you will provide comprehensive case management services to youth in shelter care. Responsibilities include intake and assessment, individualized service planning, family engagement, school coordination, community referrals, documentation, and aftercare follow up.

You will collaborate closely with shelter staff, clinicians, schools, DHS, law enforcement, and community partners to ensure coordinated and compliant services. You will also assist with crisis response, safety planning, and backup support to shelter operations when needed.

This role includes participation in on call coverage, evenings, weekends, and holiday availability as required.

Schedule Expectations

This position requires flexibility. Daytime, evening, overnight, weekend, and occasional holiday coverage may be required depending on youth needs, crisis response, and program coverage. Reliable attendance and adaptability are essential.
