Key Responsibilities:
- Supervision & Support:
- Ensure the safety and well-being of clients residing in the crisis program overnight.
- Provide support and guidance to clients in crisis, which may involve de-escalation strategies and ensuring clients have access to any necessary resources (e.g., medical, mental health, or emergency support).
- Assist clients with any immediate needs, such as medications, snacks, or access to quiet spaces for rest.
- Monitoring and Safety:
- Regularly patrol and monitor the facility to ensure safety protocols are followed, including emergency exits, fire alarms, and other safety equipment.
- Observe client behavior, document incidents, and take appropriate action if any issues arise (e.g., escalations, health concerns).
- Implement emergency response protocols in case of medical emergencies, security threats, or other crisis situations.
- Maintain a visible, approachable presence in the building to deter potential safety concerns.
- Communication:
- Act as the point of contact for any issues that arise overnight, whether it’s from clients, staff, or outside authorities.
- Communicate effectively with other staff members (e.g., daytime supervisors or managers) to ensure continuity of care and operations.
- Document relevant incidents, client interactions, and other observations in the program’s reporting systems.
- Facility Management:
- Oversee the maintenance of the building overnight, ensuring that all common areas are clean, secure, and properly stocked.
- Monitor and manage the physical condition of the facility, identifying any maintenance or repair issues and reporting them as necessary.
- Ensure that clients are following building rules and guidelines, maintaining a calm and orderly environment.
- Administrative Tasks:
- Complete necessary reports on incidents, client status, and other relevant information.
- Support the intake process for new clients during evening or overnight hours, including orientation and assessment as needed.
- Manage any shift-specific paperwork, such as sign-in logs, inventory checks, or scheduling issues.
- Crisis Management:
- Provide immediate crisis intervention and conflict resolution, utilizing knowledge of de-escalation techniques, trauma-informed care, and mental health first aid.
- Ensure that clients are receiving proper care and are not at risk of harming themselves or others.
- Coordinate with local emergency responders (e.g., EMTs, police) as needed in high-risk situations.
- Strong Communication Skills: The ability to communicate clearly with clients in crisis, staff, and outside parties (e.g., emergency responders).
- Crisis Management: Skilled in conflict resolution, de-escalation techniques, and trauma-informed care.
- Empathy and Patience: A deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in crisis, paired with the ability to remain calm and compassionate under pressure.
- Problem-Solving: The ability to think on your feet, make quick decisions, and manage unexpected situations effectively.
- Team-Oriented: While working independently overnight, it’s important to stay connected with daytime staff and other colleagues to ensure continuity of care and smooth handoffs.
- Organizational Skills: Being able to manage paperwork, maintain logs, and ensure that the facility is in order without the immediate supervision of a daytime manager.
- Physical Stamina: Overnight shifts can require long hours on your feet, and you may be responsible for walking the facility or responding to various needs throughout the night.
- Cultural Competence: An understanding of diverse backgrounds and the ability to provide respectful, non-judgmental care to individuals from different walks of life.
- The overnight building supervisor will typically work from late evening to early morning (e.g., 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) to ensure coverage when other staff are off-duty. However, hours may vary based on the specific needs of the crisis program.
