• Prepare written documentation and reports on site safety, security events, and resident needs

What We're Looking For

• Clear communicator—both written and verbal—who engages effectively with residents, colleagues, and partners
• Collaborative team player committed to building positive working relationships
• Proactive problem-solver who takes initiative and thinks creatively about solutions
• Commitment to ethical standards, integrity, and maintaining professional boundaries
• Preferred: One year of experience working with vulnerable populations, in security, or with crisis intervention and de-escalation training
