Relief Awake Overnight Counselor - Group Living Environment

At Riverside Community Care, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling, self-directed life in the community. 

Join our dedicated team and make a lasting difference as a Relief Mental Health Counselor in one of our Group Living Environments (GLE's) — safe, comfortable homes where adults can build confidence, skills, and independence with the right support.

This is your chance to become part of our Adult Community Clinical Services (ACCS) program — a respected, innovative model of care that empowers adults on their path to recovery. 

As a Mental Health Counselor, you will bring compassion, creativity, and a strong sense of collaboration to an environment that honors each person’s strengths and potential while you:

• Partner with residents to reach personal goals by offering guidance, education, and daily living support.
• Help individuals strengthen their physical and emotional wellness while developing essential life skills.
• Encourage self-advocacy, connection, and community involvement through meaningful interactions and supportive coaching.
• Collaborate with a committed team that values mutual learning, respect, and growth.
• Create an environment where people feel safe, heard, and inspired to envision new possibilities for their futures.

At Riverside, we know that when people feel supported — both those we serve and those who serve — amazing things happen. Join a team that values your voice, nurtures your growth, and shares your passion for empowering others to live full and independent lives.
