About the role

Community Teamwork in Lowell, MA is seeking a part-time Residential Counselor to support residents in a congregate shelter. You will provide life skills guidance and help maintain a safe, trauma-informed environment for guests. Responsibilities include enforcing rules, completing intakes, coordinating with staff, and documenting appropriately, with a focus on equity, integrity and compassion to empower individuals to improve their housing stability and well-being across shifts.

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.
