SUMMARY: Volunteers, be they full-time paid staff, support the Work Training Program , the artistic and recreational activities of CooperRiis life. As with each staff or volunteer person, their work focuses primarily on assisting residents with their recovery process. The Volunteer Support Staff person will be a beacon of hope for each resident. Job site may be in either Mill Spring, NC or Asheville, NC. Lodging and meals will be furnished for Full-time staff only. Part-time staff will be supplied with meals and able to participate in onsite activities, etc.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Supports or helps to lead work training crews in any and all of the work training areas of CooperRiis, including Farm and Grounds, Kitchen, Office, Housekeeping, or Woodshop and Maintenance. Generally the crews will have no more than 4 residents.
2. Supports or helps to lead recreational and artistic group activities both on CooperRiis and in nearby environs. The Support Staff member may lead activities as assigned and is also encouraged to be creative and initiate and lead activities that are close to his or her heart and interests.
3. Occasionally works alone for the sole purpose of helping to complete tasks that are needed for the smooth functioning of the CooperRiis community.
4. Acquires general knowledge of each resident’s Individual Service Plan and helps each to build on their successes or remove impediments.
5. Works with the Recovery Coach or other clinical staff when assistance is needed to help a resident who may need special care.
6. Performs other duties as assigned.

MINIMUM JOB REQUIREMENTS: Generally, full-time Support Staff, who commit to work at least one year, must have a Bachelors Degree. Shorter term Support Staff need not meet this requirement; consequently they may not be given the full range of assignments that are given to those with a Bachelor’s Degree. Generally, the Support Staff person will be 21 or above (18 is the minimum age) and will spend a very active year at CooperRiis on their way to other life experiences. Interns or summer volunteers may spend as little as 1 to 3 months at CooperRiis during their BA educational experience. Alternately, CooperRiis also encourages volunteers for the role of Support Staff as well. The Support Staff member must demonstrate that he or she has work or life experience that has thoroughly tested his or her relationship skills. Work experience with individuals who are coping with serious and persistent mental illness is helpful but not necessary.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES REQUIRED: The Support Staff will have superb interpersonal skills, exercise good judgment and have an intuitive capacity that enables him or her to ‘read’ the status of residents.

WORKING CONDITIONS AND PHYSICAL EFFORT:
• Work is normally performed in a typical interior/office work environment or outside in a farm-work environment.
• Significant physical effort required.
• Work environment may involve exposure to physical risks, such as operating dangerous equipment or working with chemicals.

WORK HOURS: Varied. Most will work either a Sunday through Thursday or a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. Few will work a Monday through Friday schedule. Typically, the Support Staff will work the same Work Program schedule as the residents. Given that the Support Staff member has a 40-hour work week commitment, (and if you do not work a full 40 hours on your assigned tasks, you may be asked to assist with organized group activities on-site or off-site). An exception may be the Support Staff person who receives a permanent assignment to a particular work area. In that case, the Manager may schedule additional hours for the Support Staff person, as allowed by the Work Training and Creative Arts Program Director. In short, each Support Staff’s role and schedule will be highly individualized and may change weekly.
(NOTE: These duties may change at any given time, this is just a basis for the position). There is no guarantee of a position if any come open, but you will be given first opportunity for a paid position.

Lodge Advisor - Non-Profit Mental Health (Mill Spring, NC)

MUST LIVE ON SITE WHEN ON DUTY. Housing/meals furnished for a nominal fee. A critically important role, the Lodge Advisor has incredible relational ability and power to assist residents in integrating with the therapeutic community life of CooperRiis, in feeling more at-ease and less dis-eased, and more in relationship instead of isolated. Lodge Advisors should be beacons of hope for each resident.

A Lodge Advisor will reside in each of the Lodges and will be on duty from 4 PM through the evening. He or she (or a couple) will tend especially to the social and physical aspects of CooperRiis life in the evenings. Face-to-face contact will be made with each resident residing in the Lodge each evening. The Advisor will also sleep in the Lodge and be available to be awakened, should a resident need assistance.

3) Continues taking stock of residents during and after dinner as a Listener/Influencer, picking up on emerging issues while continuing to help move residents into a positive evening experience, especially by encouraging their participation in the planned evening social/recreational activities. Targets interactions to address any pressing issues that have been identified.
4) Responds to emerging critical needs or crises. The Lodge Advisor is to be present for his or her full Lodge of residents and may not be able to spend large amounts of time with only one or two residents. If a resident needs more intensive support, the Lodge Advisor should reach the Lodge Manager or the person on-call who will provide this support. Also, if a crisis begins to emerge, the Lodge Advisor is to notify the Lodge Manager, the person on-call or immediately call 911 if the situation warrants this.
5) Facilitates ‘spontaneous’ social experiences in the Lodge for residents who have chosen not to attend other planned events. This could include games, discussion groups, etc., basically encouraging residents to ‘hang out’ and relax.
6) Supports residents in their goals to improve matters of personal hygiene; this includes encouraging/training residents in ways to improve the cleanliness of their bedroom and bathroom. (Note: The Housekeeping Manager will provide the Lodge Advisor with room inspection reports.)
7) Administers PRN medications as needed.
8) Documents, as needed, on each resident with special concerns, before 10:30 PM. Most often this is in the form of leaving recorded documentation on ‘264’ for the morning staff’s review.
