YWCA Greater Lafayette is seeking a compassionate, dependable Bi-lingual Case Advocate to provide advocacy and support to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

This position works directly with both Spanish-speaking and non-Spanish-speaking survivors, providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed support from initial crisis intervention through safety planning, referrals, systems advocacy, and ongoing case management.

YWCA Greater Lafayette is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

As a Bi-lingual Case Advocate, you will:

• Provide individualized case management, crisis intervention, safety planning, emotional support, and follow-up services to survivors.

• Conduct client intakes and needs assessments and help develop individualized safety, support, and action plans.

• Help survivors navigate legal, criminal, civil, medical, and other community systems.

• Provide Spanish-language interpretation and translation to support survivors receiving YWCA services.

• Connect clients with shelter, housing, counseling, healthcare, mental health services, employment, education, childcare, financial assistance, and other community resources.

• Provide referrals and warm hand-offs to YWCA programs and community partners.

• Conduct community outreach, education, and presentations related to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and available victim services.

• Build relationships with organizations serving Hispanic/Latine communities and help reduce barriers to services for immigrant and limited-English-proficiency survivors.

• Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential client records and service documentation.

• Work collaboratively with YWCA residential, legal, child advocacy, and other program staff.

• Participate in staff meetings, case reviews, training, professional development, and community events.

• Participate in an on-call/after-hours rotation to provide crisis intervention, advocacy, and accompaniment when needed.

Required:

• Native or near-native fluency in spoken and written Spanish, along with proficiency in English.

• Bachelor's degree in social work, criminal justice, psychology, human services, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Ability to work independently, manage crisis situations, maintain professional boundaries, and remain calm in high-stress situations.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills.

• Ability to build trusting relationships with survivors, coworkers, and community partners.

• Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to learn client-data and documentation systems.

• Commitment to providing victim-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive services.

• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and the ability to travel within the service area.

Preferred:

• Experience working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking.

• Experience working with Hispanic/Latine communities.

• Knowledge of community resources, victim rights, and basic civil and criminal legal processes.

• Familiarity with immigration-related issues and resources affecting survivors, including VAWA self-petitions, U-Visas, and T-Visas.

This is a full-time, 40-hour, primarily in-person position. Some evening and weekend hours are required based on client and program needs, and the position participates in an on-call rotation.

The work can include responding to individuals experiencing crisis and trauma and traveling to courts, hospitals, community organizations, and other locations throughout the service area.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of required background checks, fingerprinting, and any additional screening required by YWCA policy or applicable funding sources.

• Dental and vision insurance

• Employer-paid life and disability benefits

For a survivor seeking help, language and cultural barriers can make an already difficult situation even harder.

The Bi-lingual Case Advocate helps remove those barriers while giving survivors the information, support, resources, and advocacy they need to make their own decisions and move toward greater safety and independence.

If you are comfortable working with people during difficult moments, can build trust across cultures, and want your work to have a direct impact on individuals and families in our community, we encourage you to apply.
