BREAK OF DAY IS HIRING!

Are you a caring person who desires employment that makes a difference in your community? Do you want to be part of a caring team working together to improve the lives of people right here in Maine? Break of Day Mental Health Group, Inc. is looking for individuals to work with and enrich the lives of adults with mental illness in the community.

At Break of Day Mental Health Group, Inc., we strive to provide the best, highest quality services to our consumers, while creating a supportive environment for staff and consumers that encourages personal and professional growth. We believe that everyone has potential to be successful, and reaching any goal, personal or professional, is possible with the right support and encouragement.

We currently have full time and part time DLS position openings on both our South team, covering from the Lewiston area to the Damariscotta area, as well as our North Team, covering from Waldoboro to Belfast. The ideal candidate will have some direct service experience in the mental health field; however, we are always interested in training the right candidates. Since this is a community-based position, travel is required, as is a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation and insurance. Good communication, organization skills, time management and customer service skills are required. DHHS, criminal history and DMV history checks are conducted, and are a condition of employment. This is an entry level position, but there are educational opportunities within the agency to offer room for professional growth as well as increased income!

This position provides direct support to adults with mental illness in the community and the consumers’ homes. We follow a person-centered psychosocial rehabilitation model in our work with consumers. DLS staff work side by side with clients to access community and social support resources, develop daily living skills such as personal care, budgeting, home maintenance and organization, daily routines, meal planning, emotional and physical self-care, and coping skill development. DLS workers help motivate and support clients to meet personal recovery goals by assisting to break down goals into smaller, manageable tasks and addressing these tasks one step at a time.
