  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to establish rapport and maintain boundaries in high-stress environments.
  • Proficient in or able to quickly learn client data entry systems (e.g., Community Services).
  • Experience in crisis de-escalation or trauma-informed care strongly preferred.
