About the Role
You are a frontline member of the PRC care team.

• Maintain cleanliness and order of all shared program spaces
• Enforce program rules with professionalism and respect — firm, never punitive
• Collaborate with therapists, medical staff, and leadership across shifts
• Participate in team meetings and shift-change debriefs
• Escort clients to appointments or activities as needed

• High school diploma or GED required
• Eligible for Level II background screening and drug test
