Job Summary

 

The Village at Glencliff is a new 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to provide dignified, loving, and hospitable medical respite to our friends experiencing homelessness here in Nashville, TN. We offer a comprehensive array of services to our residents, who stay with us from hospital discharge until permanently housed. We will be working very closely with the Nashville Continuum of Care (CoC) to provide services to our residents.

The role of the Care Coordinator is to utilize agency and community resources to offer residents every opportunity to break cycles of poverty and unlock pathways to permanent housing, healing, and hope. The Care Coordinator works with residents on their Individualized Service Plans, assists residents through the application process for available resources, and addresses resident needs regarding transportation, employment, housing, and medical/mental health/recovery issues. The Care Coordinator ensures that all residents are adequately oriented and accountable to the program rules and guidelines and is responsible for the management and implementation of the Program Handbook. This position also coordinates with other team members to maintain a mission-focused environment in which residents receive the highest quality of compassionate and dignified care while concurrently utilizing evidence-based practices, such as Trauma-Informed Care. As the residents’ most direct staff contact, the Care Coordinator interacts with residents in a way that fosters health, mutual respect, clear communication, and positive self-regard.
