- Advocate for clients and facilitate connections with health, wellbeing and community services, while proactively identifying and responding to risks that may impact housing stability.
- Maintain accurate case records and reporting, participate in multidisciplinary collaboration, supervision and professional development, and contribute to effective transition and exit planning.
