\n
• Exceptional communication skills, including cultural competence to work effectively with diverse populations.
\n
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to address complex client situations effectively.

Preferred Experience\n

While a minimum of two years of experience in a social service or clinical setting is required, applicants with experience in case management, mental health counseling, or crisis intervention will be highly valued. Familiarity with community resources and support systems will also enhance the candidate's effectiveness in this role.
