Qualifications

Requirements

� Developmental Services Worker (DSW) diploma from a recognized college.

� Demonstrated person-centered planning and ability to coordinate meaningful, recovery-enhancing activities.

� Strong therapeutic relationship and advocacy skills; experience with complex clients in a team approach.

� Effective verbal and written communication; strong interpersonal skills; attention to detail.

� Computer literacy for clinical documentation and communication.

� Ability to work respectfully with diverse ethno-cultural and socio-economic populations.

� Familiarity with safe patient handling/ergonomics and adherence to safety protocols.

� Ability to work 12-hour rotating shifts, including weekends and potential nights.

Nice-to-Haves
