  • Build and maintain strong relationships with community partners, organizations, and stakeholders, including attending community board meetings, local NSTAT, and tenant meetings as needed.
  • Conduct weekly community outreach and participate in community events to promote the program.
  • Provide community-based crisis intervention and individual engagement, including enrolling clients into appropriate programs and services, providing referrals to additional resources, advocating on behalf of clients, and delivering short-term case management and safety planning to clients experiencing harm.
  • Document all services in the required software within 24-48 hours while being very specific and including comprehensive notes for each service provided.
  • Establish and maintain strong relationships with public and private local stakeholders that provide services to those impacted by intimate partner violence/domestic violence.
  • Submit regular monthly reports to the Project Director to capture pertinent program data.
  • Drive community service van(s) safely following NYC DOT guidelines to designated sites as needed.
  • Safely return van(s) to the parking location after work-related events or community service.
  • Maintain van(s) cleanliness and report all incidents to the supervisor.

Requirements

  • At least 2 or more years of experience in a position directly related to intimate partner violence or domestic violence, as well as experience in community organizing, community engagement, Project/Program management and group facilitation preferred.
  • Driver's license is strongly preferred.
  • This exciting position requires a creative self-starter who can accomplish tasks in a fast-paced environment.
  • Candidates must be comfortable navigating interdisciplinary settings and must be willing to roll up their sleeves and be actively involved in day-to-day operations.
  • Experience with transformative justice frameworks, individual counseling, and community-based violence prevention preferred.
