Shelter Case Manager:
Help a Young Person Find Their Next Step at Brittany's Place

180 Degrees believes every young person deserves a safe place to land, no matter what brought them to our door. Our youth shelters serve adolescents ages 12–19 navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives: homelessness, running away, family conflict, exploitation, or county placement. For many of these youth, trust, consistency, and dignity have been in short supply, and that's exactly what we're here to offer.

Every young person in our shelter needs someone in their corner, someone who sees the full picture, plans with them (not for them), and helps chart a path forward. That's you.

As a Shelter Case Manager, you provide intensive, relationship-based case management to youth during a critical window of stabilization. You're not here to control or enforce, you're here to advocate, collaborate, and build a real plan for what's next. Working closely with shelter staff and community partners, you help youth move from crisis toward stability, one conversation and one decision at a time.

• Build trusting, relationship-based connections with youth navigating trauma and housing instability
• Lead intensive case management focused on safety, stabilization, and transition planning
• Practice trauma-responsive, youth-centered care with advocacy and collaboration, not control
• Partner closely with shelter staff to create a consistent, unified experience for every youth
• Serve as a liaison with parents, caregivers, guardians, caseworkers, probation officers, and other involved adults
• Support family and caregiver engagement and reunification efforts when appropriate and aligned with the youth's plan
• Provide regular, appropriate progress updates to families, caregivers, and workers based on youth needs, relationships, and circumstances
• Coordinate with community partners to support youth toward their next steps
• Support planned and unplanned discharges, ensuring appropriate transition planning and continuity of care.
• Maintain professional boundaries, confidentiality, and ethical practice
• Keep clear, accurate documentation to support youth planning and progress
• Lead by example, day and night by modeling trauma-responsive practice and professionalism, participate in on-call rotation, and provide expert consultation to shelter staff through complex, high-needs moments alongside your Program Manager.

You believe every young person deserves dignity, not judgment. You know that real change comes through relationship, not control. You're organized enough to manage a plan with excellent documentation, and human enough to hold space for a hard conversation. And you want a job where the work is real, human, and meaningful on every single shift.

This is a full-time, onsite position (40 hours/week). No direct reports. Direct impact every day.
