Working Environment
This is a highly active, field-based role. You must be comfortable:
  • Working in transit stations, public spaces, and outdoor environments in all weather
  • Engaging individuals in crisis or with complex behavioral health needs
  • Working closely with individuals who may have limited access to hygiene and personal care and may present with unmet self-care needs
  • Standing, walking, and traveling for extended periods
