About the role

Mental Health Association - Western MA is seeking Direct Care Workers to create a supportive residential setting for participants facing homelessness, trauma, and mental health challenges. You will empower recovery through person-centered planning, respecting core values of dignity, integrity, and compassion. Responsibilities include assisting with daily activities, teaching life skills, providing transportation, and coordinating with community resources.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
