If your answer is YES to any of these questions, we'd love to speak to you about our SNAP and Benefits Advocacy program, our supportive work environment, and the positive impact this role has for hundreds of families across Eastern Massachusetts!

  • Data entry and collecting information needed for reports
  • Participation in ongoing job-related training and regular supervision

  • Strong analytical ability and capacity to understand laws, regulations and processes to problem-solve client issues
  • High emotional intelligence to work effectively with diverse individuals from many backgrounds
  • Flexibility, creativity and determination to face challenging client situations with hope and compassion
