  • Provide CX coverage during planned staff absences and other identified coverage needs.

Program Connection & Client Referrals:
  • Maintain working knowledge of MOWCI programs and services to help connect clients with appropriate resources.
  • Identify clients who may benefit from additional programs or supports and communicate those opportunities to the appropriate program staff.
  • Partner with the Program Quality & Support Coordinator and Client Experience Specialist when clients may be appropriate for Friendly Visitor or other program opportunities.
  • Share recurring client concerns, barriers, or service trends with the Client Services Program Manager.
