Bay Cove Human Services’ mission is to partner with people to overcome challenges and realize personal potential. Bay Cove pursues this mission by providing individualized and compassionate services to people facing the challenges associated with developmental disabilities, mental illness, substance use disorders, and homelessness at more than 175 program sites throughout Greater Boston and Southeastern Massachusetts.

Job Summary:
The Shift Leader assists the Director to set the overall direction and provides on-site oversight of the shelter and Shelter Support Workers. The Shelter Manager contributes to Bay Cove’s mission by ensuring that services are accessible, inviting, effective, and efficiently operated, thus making the services an ideal environment in which individuals can pursue their personal goals.

Essential Functions of Position:

Support the shelter support workers to ensure that they are providing safe, respectful, and compassionate services in a low-threshold environment that is anchored in evidence-based and emerging best practices, including harm reduction and trauma informed care principles.
Provide care for guests and maintain safety by visual monitoring of all guests, actively and respectfully interacting with guests and the team to ensure routines and safety procedures are followed and recognize that the majority of guests have endured trauma and employ trauma-informed care in all interactions.
Ensure safety of the guests and facility by assisting shelter support workers with conducting scheduled safety checks, monitoring common areas inside the facility (entrances, stairwells, bathrooms, and other accessible locations), outside the program (parking lot, front of building, and area that trash is maintained, etc), and provide supportive feedback and redirection to guests when needed.
Complete required documentation at intake, HMIS (Homeless Management Information System), as required.
Follow safety plans and restrictions established by shelter leadership.

Provide crisis intervention and de-escalation as needed. Contact 911 when issues arise that cannot be managed safely in the setting (medical emergencies, guests not responsive to de-escalation techniques, etc.) and provide emergency intervention to stabilize the situation until professional help arrives (naloxone administration, basic first aid, CPR, etc.).
Support shelter support workers in following established policies and procedures and assisting guests with issues/concerns.
Participates in regularly scheduled staff meetings and supervisions.
Other job-related duties as assigned.

Frequent communication of accurate information, instructions, and ideas so others will understand.
Operation of complex and delicate equipment with precision and accuracy. This includes frequent phone and computer use for documenting services, accessing needed information, etc.
Bending to retrieve, lift, and carry supplies and equipment up to twenty (20) pounds.
Frequent movement throughout the workspace to access, obtain, or distribute supplies (sometimes pushing or pulling equipment), interact with persons served, assist in the transport of persons served, etc.
