Create Safety. Support Stability. Help Veterans Rebuild.

Are you a calm, dependable, and compassionate professional who wants to help Veterans live in a safe, structured, and supportive environment? As a Floater Resident Support Specialist, you will play an important role in helping male Veterans reintegrate into independent living by supporting daily stability, safety, accountability, and connection.

This role is more than monitoring a facility. It is about creating an environment where Veterans feel respected, supported, and encouraged as they work toward wellness, housing stability, and long-term independence. Through consistency, professionalism, crisis response, and respectful engagement, you will help maintain a home-like setting where Veterans can rebuild with dignity.

You will provide day-to-day supervision, engagement, and support to residents while helping maintain a safe, respectful, and structured environment. You will conduct routine wellness and safety checks, especially during overnight and weekend shifts, and offer calm emotional support and de‑escalation during resident crises. You will assist residents with daily living expectations, chores, program participation, and compliance with facility rules in a way that promotes accountability, dignity, and progress.

You will maintain accurate shift documentation, incident reports, resident logs, and other required records in accordance with grant and organizational standards. You may assist with intake, orientation, and exit processes for residents while helping ensure participants understand expectations and feel supported during transitions. You will collaborate with case managers, clinicians, and service providers to support individualized care plans and help residents remain connected to the services they need.

You will monitor the facility for maintenance, cleanliness, safety, and operational concerns, reporting issues promptly to the appropriate staff, including the VPC Receptionist when required. You will help ensure common areas remain clean, orderly, and respectful of the Veterans living there, while also supporting residents in maintaining their personal spaces. You will administer and monitor curfews, sign‑in and sign‑out logs, visitor procedures, and other facility expectations to help maintain safety and structure.

You will respond appropriately to emergencies, including medical, behavioral, environmental, substance use, conflict‑related, or mental health incidents. You will follow established protocols, maintain professional boundaries, and use sound judgment during difficult or sensitive situations. You will protect confidentiality in all interactions and help ensure residents are treated with respect while safety concerns are addressed promptly and appropriately.

You will assist with data collection and reporting required by funding sources such as HUD, VA, local grants, and other program requirements. You will uphold policies and procedures related to grant compliance, service delivery, resident safety, confidentiality, and ethical conduct. Your work will help ensure the program operates with consistency, accountability, and care.

Success in this role means incident reports are completed accurately by the end of each shift, bed checks are completed and documented every day, and residents are supported in completing daily chores at a rate of at least 85%. Maintenance and safety issues are reported within two hours, and residents experience respectful, professional support reflected in at least 90% positive feedback.

Strong performance also means the facility remains safe, structured, clean, and supportive for Veterans working toward independent living.
