Example of human service careers aligned with the homeless society.
Social workers- are sometimes referred to as case managers. Their main duty is to connect with people to ensure the current situation does not get out of hand. They coordinate social services across multiple agencies and service providers like helping children living with HIV/AIDS, the homeless and orphaned kids. They are also responsible for acting as child rights activists in certain organizations.
Youth counsellors- they offer short-term counselling and case management services to youths in institutions that are set apart for the homeless or also in the streets where they sometimes indulge themselves in substance abuse due to lack of counselling, that’s why these counsellors are of very much assistance to the homeless societies. Youth counsellors assist in crisis intervention, psycho-education and also in the management of cases.
Professional responsibilities
The youth counsellors are responsible for providing counselling services, case management and also advocating for their clients, ensuring that there is a linkage between the youths and the community referral resources. Professional youth counsellors also provide necessary documents required in case of consultation or available programs for the youths by managing the relevant documents. The counsellor provides any necessary statistical information and any information that is necessary for any form of evaluation. They also ensure and provide ongoing outreach to young people.
Social workers, on the other hand, represent their clients by providing secondary consultation to the relevant lawyers and also ensure that there is a healthy relationship between the homeless and relevant agencies and services. The social workers may at times collaborate with other professionals in writing up assessments that meet specified standards and timescales. In cases such as child protection or mental disorder, they are involved in the multidisciplinary teams or any other meetings that the individuals may be involved in. They also ensure that they have the relevant documents available and ensure they are up to date as much as they represent their clients in the relevant meetings. They can also be present in court to give evidence pertaining a case related to their clients.
Knowledge, skills, and attributes.

One should also possess high level of writing and communication skills and the ability to handle relevant official documents and keep them confidential, accurate and up to date. One should also be able to indulge in teamwork, be able to negotiate and mediate representing the service users. The individual should be resilient, have the abilit ...
