    Journey Center Clubhouse is seeking a qualified candidate for the full-time position of Clubhouse Generalist. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed individual to work in a progressive recovery-oriented setting providing direct support to adults with serious mental illness. The Clubhouse is a non-clinical psychosocial rehabilitation program that offers individuals hope and the chance to move beyond their illness and achieve their full potential. The model is unique in that it is not clinical or illness-centered, and instead focuses on the strengths of each individual and the power of the Clubhouse community. We support Clubhouse members (program participants) to meet their needs for employment, housing, education, friendship, structure, and stability through participation in meaningful work-related activities designed to sharpen skills and build confidence. Staff encourage supportive relationships that help promote hope, choice, wellness, and recovery for participants while working together as colleagues and mentors.
