These abilities are vital for ensuring safety, building trust, and effectively supporting individuals impacted by violence.

Duties and Responsibilities
  • Responsible for working with law enforcement in the community to ensure victims of domestic violence are aware of services available.

  • Conduct on-scene emergency shelter screenings, as needed, following domestic violence situations, and when necessary, facilitate the process of linking victims (and family members) to emergency shelter housing.
  • Carefully assess domestic violence situations for safety and take necessary precautions.
  • Provide individual crisis intervention and support, as needed.
  • Conduct routine follow-up with the potential clients impacted during the domestic violence intervention to make sure needs are met.

  • Some college coursework in Human Services, Criminal Justice, Psychology, related field or commensurate work experience preferred.
  • Bilingual in English and Spanish required.
  • Successful completion of a vetting process with the Police Department; includes a thorough background investigation, required.
  • One year of experience in counseling or professional client support position in a domestic violence agency and/or program setting preferred.
  • Experience working with law enforcement.
  • Exceptional problem-solving and conflict resolution skills.
  • Complete the 40-hour Domestic Violence Advocate certification training post-hire.

Prospective employees must pass a background screening to the satisfaction of the agency prior to placement. Since background screenings take time to complete, applicants are encouraged to apply early.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our organization. We strongly encourage survivors of domestic violence to apply. We strongly encourage applicants of diverse race, color, age, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law to apply.
