The intern may help clients access community services, assist with paperwork, and participate in outreach or educational initiatives. This role is supervised by experienced advocates and can involve both direct client interaction and behind-the-scenes administrative support. The remote nature of the position allows interns to assist clients via phone, video calls, email, or chat, making services more accessible to those who cannot attend in person.

What are some typical challenges Remote Victim Advocate Interns face when supporting clients virtually, and how can these be addressed?

Remote Victim Advocate Interns often encounter challenges such as building trust with clients through virtual communication, ensuring confidentiality, and navigating technology barriers. To address these, interns should prioritize clear and empathetic communication, use secure, encrypted platforms, and receive training on digital safety. Additionally, collaborating closely with supervisors and participating in regular team meetings can help interns feel supported and equipped to handle sensitive situations effectively.

Job description

Salary: $26.00

Rebuilding Hope Sexual Assault Center is seeking to hire a passionate and capable individual to serve as an After-hours Victim Advocate with a focus on weekend after-hours coverage.


Rebuilding Hopes mission is to provide support, promote healing, and partner to end sexual violence. Rebuilding Hope aspires to build communities that do not tolerate oppressive social norms, behaviors, or systems that promote sexual violence or exploitation. Communities where those who have been harmed are believed and supported in pursuit of their individual paths of healing. Communities where sexual violence does not exist, and their people are educated and empowered to center full choice, consent, and safety. For 50 years, Rebuilding Hope has served as the sole community sexual assault center and only state-accredited Community Sexual Assault Program to Pierce County and, since 2023, to Kitsap County.


We are seeking candidates for this position who are passionate about supporting 24-hour access to confidential, community-based, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered crisis intervention, information and referral, general, medical, and legal advocacy to survivors of sexual assault and abuse and their loved ones.


Rebuilding Hope is committed to developing a team of staff who reflect the diverse demography of our community and who represent the populations who are disproportionately impacted by violence. We strongly encourage members of our Black, Tribal, 2SLGBTQIA+, culturally diverse, and differently-abled communities to apply.


Nature of Work


This is a Per Diem position involving extensive, independent contact with sexual assault victim-survivors, their families, and those who support them in Pierce & Kitsap Counties and statewide. The employee in this position is subject to the policies and procedures of the agency, the program, and the direction of the Advocacy Department.

This Advocate acts as a primary responder for the agency during shifts from Monday to Thursday, 4 PM-8 AM, Friday at 4 PM to Monday at 8 AM, and up to 13 observed holidays, and will be responsible for coverage for a minimum of three 8-hour hotline on-call shifts a week.
