Community Care Advocate (Call Center) – Evening Shift (Work From Home)

Make a real difference—every call matters.

We’re hiring 2 Community Care Advocates to support individuals and families who are navigating difficult situations and need access to basic resources like food, housing, and utility assistance. If you’re someone who can stay calm under pressure, truly listen, and help people in their most vulnerable moments, this role is incredibly meaningful—and equally challenging.

What You’ll Do

As a Community Care Advocate, you’ll be the first point of contact for community members seeking help. Every day, you will:

• Handle a high volume of inbound calls from individuals in need of support (food, housing, utility assistance, suicide etc.)
• Listen actively to understand both stated and unstated needs
• Provide accurate referrals to community resources using a comprehensive database
• Show genuine empathy and care while maintaining professionalism and efficiency
• Ask thoughtful follow-up questions like, “What else can we support you with today?”
• Document call details and ensure accurate records
• Help improve resources by reporting outdated or incorrect information

What to Expect

This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment—please review carefully:

• 📞 Call volume: Back-to-back calls (team handles 300–500 calls/day across ~20 people)
• ⏱️ Call length: Average 5–7 minutes
• ⚡ Pace: Continuous queue-based work (little to no downtime)
• 💬 Call types: Some callers may be upset, emotional, or in crisis
• ❤️ Emotional demand: High—callers are often facing serious life challenges

This role is not easy—but it is meaningful and rewarding.

Important to Know

• This is a mission-driven role where you’ll truly impact lives—but it requires thick skin, emotional strength, and focus
• You’ll be part of a highly tenured team, with many employees staying 10+ years
• Not a fit for candidates looking for:
  • Fully scripted calls only
  • Low-stress environments
  • Extensive hands-on training (this role requires independent learning)
