Part-time, Salt Lake City
Have you been considering going into social work, women’s services, or other non-profit service organization? We are looking for part-time (up to 28 hours per week) and full-time (between 30 and 38 hours per week) Recovery Assistants for our OVERNIGHT/GRAVE shifts at our SALT LAKE CITY campuses. The Recovery Assistant position is a terrific option for women looking for a second job, who are at school (plenty of time for homework during overnight shifts), and/or for those looking for extra money or a new career option! These positions can be very flexible in scheduling to fit your lifestyle. While we do not split shifts, you can virtually pick your own weekly schedule with a combination of as many overnight shifts per week as fits your lifestyle. Plus, we pay an extra dollar per hour for overnight shifts. We currently have shifts available Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 p.m.- 8:30 a.m.
You will learn firsthand about women’s treatment, helping people grow in a therapeutic community, reunifying mothers and children, and most importantly—about your own strengths and challenges.
