**What our Tenants say**:
"The welcoming you get when you walk through the doors, from tenants to staff. They're always checking on you." "Living at Indwell has been teaching me to do things and taught me how to get along with better people, be better people and trust people and let people do and say what they want." "An affordable rent. It’s huge, it’s huge. It means I can eat properly. And that affects my physical and mental health, so that is huge."

**Hours of Work**: Full time 12 month contract, 40 hours per week. Primarily Monday-Friday daytime hours, with some flexibility required to meet program needs, including evening and weekend hours.
