ReDiscover is seeking a Community Support Specialist to join our Transitional Living Program, which has been a cornerstone of our mission for over 50 years. As a non-profit community mental health center located in southeastern Jackson County, Missouri, we are dedicated to providing efficient and cost-effective treatment to individuals affected by mental illness or substance use. Our diverse team of over 700 employees is passionate about supporting our community, particularly young adults striving for independence. The Transitional Living Program is designed to empower young adults to achieve their individualized goals for independent living. Through the support of life coaches and community support specialists, participants are guided in navigating the challenges of living independently in their own one-bedroom apartments. We focus on the strengths of each young adult and work collaboratively to define what success looks like for them in the long term. Our program offers intensive daily support, case management, life coaching, medication management, and access to resources and entitlements, all within a client-centered, strengths-based supportive environment. In this role, you will maintain and interact with a caseload of clients, providing both in-person and telephonic support. You will facilitate clients' achievement of long-range outcomes related to symptom management, employment, and independent living, tailored to their unique needs. Engaging with difficult-to-serve clients will be a key aspect of your work, as you explore all potential resources to help them gain access to necessary services. You will also assist clients in overcoming barriers to participation in community programs and will be responsible for transporting clients to various appointments using your personal vehicle. Additionally, you will document client interactions in our designated electronic medical record system and collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to ensure comprehensive care and positive communication regarding client wellness.
