Female Treatment Assistant; Overnight

Central City Concern is an innovative nonprofit agency providing comprehensive services to single adults and families in the Portland metro area who are impacted by homelessness, poverty and addictions. We hire people that are skilled and passionate to meet our mission to end homelessness through outcome-based strategies which support personal and community transformation.

Letty Owings Center (LOC) has helped young mothers to become sober, healthy and hopeful about the future. Recovery is more complex during pregnancy and while raising young children, we offer a safe, inclusive environment for women to live with their children while in treatment for substance use disorders. Our residents often are able to stay with their children, who might otherwise be placed in foster care.

Treatment Assistants are responsible for providing care and close intensive supervision to all clients and their children in a 24-hour treatment facility. General responsibilities include: providing client-centered care, using de-escalation skills, observing and reporting behaviors and supporting a healthy and safe milieu environment, providing high quality customer service, and other duties as needed. This position works closely with the Milieu Supervisor, counselors, and other staff to develop and implement a supportive environment for LOC clients.
