Residential Attendant

We are seeking a Facility Attendant to join our team at our program in Coatesville, PA

Fresh Start transitional housing programs were developed to provide 24/7 support to Veterans and individuals with a history of homelessness, chemical dependency, and/or varying degrees of behavioral health issues. Fresh Start currently has over 150 beds that operate out of 13 different locations in Philadelphia and Coatesville, PA. These programs work in partnership with the Philadelphia VA Medical Centers and Philadelphia’s Office of Addiction Services (OAS). In addition, Fresh Start also has “self-pay” housing options where individuals can stay for an indefinite period of time.

This is a direct care position working with adult men and/or women in a transitional housing environment.  Our service populations are in the early stages of recovery from chemical and alcohol dependency, co-occurring disorders, serious mental illness, and homelessness.  The main role of a facility attendant is to ensure the residents and facility are safe, and the program schedule is being followed.  You are also acting as direct support to the supportive service coordinators, program managers and program directors.
