Responsibilities

If you're someone who believes that meaningful support happens where life is actually being lived — not just in an office — this role was built for you. As a Client Support Specialist at Pinnacle Family Services, you'll provide hands-on, community-based services that help children, adolescents, transition-age youth, adults, and families build skills, overcome barriers, and achieve their goals in everyday life.

What You'll Do

As a Client Support Specialist, you'll work directly with individuals and families in their homes and communities, helping them strengthen the skills and supports needed to thrive. Your work will be relationship-focused, strengths-based, and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. Day to day, you can expect to:

• • Deliver individualized community-based support services in homes, schools, workplaces, and other community settings, helping individuals and families make progress toward their treatment and recovery goals.
  • Teach and reinforce coping strategies, emotional regulation techniques, interpersonal skills, independent living skills, and other practical tools that support success in daily life, education, employment, and community functioning.
  • Partner with individuals and families to implement Treatment Plans and Individualized Recovery Plans (IRPs), identify personal strengths, build resilience, and proactively address barriers that may impact progress.
  • Coordinate care and collaborate with therapists, healthcare providers, schools, employers, probation officers, family members, and other community partners to ensure comprehensive, person-centered support.
  • Connect individuals and families to community resources, housing supports, educational opportunities, employment services, healthcare providers, and other programs that promote long-term stability and well-being.
  • Maintain accurate documentation, monitor service utilization and treatment plan timelines, participate in quality improvement activities, and contribute to a culture of excellence in service delivery.

What to Expect

This is community-based work, which means you'll spend much of your time meeting with individuals and families in the environments where they live, learn, work, and interact. Every day looks a little different, offering variety, flexibility, and opportunities to make a direct impact in the lives of those you serve.

Success in this role requires strong relationship-building skills, effective communication, independent problem-solving, and a commitment to helping people achieve meaningful goals. You'll work collaboratively with a supportive team while also managing your own schedule and caseload in the community.

Making an Impact

As a Client Support Specialist, you'll play a vital role in helping individuals and families build confidence, strengthen independence, access critical resources, and move toward greater stability and well-being. Whether you're teaching practical life skills, supporting recovery goals, coordinating care, or helping someone navigate a challenging transition, your work creates opportunities for lasting, positive change.

At Pinnacle Family Services, you'll be part of a mission-driven team dedicated to improving lives, strengthening communities, and helping every individual reach their fullest potential.
