· High school diploma or GED required; an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in a related field (social work, psychology, education) is a plus.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements:

· The work environment is a mix of office work, direct client engagement, and remote work from the employee’s home.

· The role requires driving clients when necessary, so reliable transportation is a must.

· Light physical activity may be required (e.g., standing, walking, assisting clients).

Schedule & Compensation:
