- Help address barriers related to housing, income, transportation, food security, social isolation, and other social determinants of health.
- Work collaboratively with GHCS clinicians, practitioners, and community partners to support coordinated, holistic care.
- Maintain timely and accurate client records in our EMR in accordance with GHCS policy and consent requirements.
- Contribute to program statistics, evaluation, reporting, team meetings, and community outreach activities.

- Minimum 5 years’ experience working with individuals facing mental health and/or substance use challenges, ideally in a community or outreach setting.
- Strong understanding of trauma-informed, harm reduction, and recovery-oriented practices.
