CAMBA is seeking candidates for a PT Residential Aide role in their Emergency Transitional Congregate Housing Program. The position offers $18.55 per hour, part-time weekends (Saturday and Sunday, 4PM-12AM), and aims to support vulnerable individuals working toward permanent housing. Candidates should have sufficient education to follow written and oral instructions and basic computer know-how. A Security Guard Certificate is preferred, but not mandatory.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
This role centers around maintaining a secure and supportive living environment for program clients. The aide completes regular security rounds, documents incidents clearly, updates logs daily, and communicates promptly with supervisors. Responding to emergencies and supporting clients with professionalism and respect are core tasks. The Residential Aide facilitates order, ensures safety, and helps ensure compliance with facility rules. Participation in meetings and support for case management services are essential, as is maintaining confidentiality at all times.
Pros
The main positive is the structured part-time schedule, ideal for those seeking consistent weekend hours. The mission-driven environment offers direct, tangible community impact—rewarding for compassionate candidates. Furthermore, hourly pay is competitive for entry-level social services positions, and the employer values diversity, creating an inclusive workplace. Requirements are accessible, allowing applicants with basic experience and good interpersonal skills to apply with confidence.
Cons
Weekend-only work might limit flexibility for applicants with other time commitments. The role requires handling potentially stressful situations, as incidents involving emergencies and challenging behavior can arise. Advancement opportunities depend on internal mobility within the organization, and preference for a Security Guard Certificate could disadvantage some applicants. Lastly, the job’s responsibilities must be performed on-site, not remotely.
Verdict
The PT Residential Aide position is a solid fit for individuals wanting to contribute meaningfully to vulnerable populations, while earning steady weekend pay. It’s especially recommended for those with a desire for public service, strong communication skills, and readiness to meet challenges with professionalism. While demanding at times, it offers both tangible benefits and career-building experience for candidates entering the social service field.
