Unbound Now, a faith-based nonprofit organization, is looking for a full-time Director of Survivor Advocacy.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain a strong line of communication with the Survivor Advocacy Program Director regarding any issues related to the local office’s Survivor Advocacy Program, as well as any issues of a programmatic nature.

• Rotate supervisory call with Lead Advocate, supporting advocates when they are responding to calls, unless the local structure allows for this requirement to be shared by two or more lead advocates and/or program coordinators.

• Ensure availability of immediate intervention and ongoing advocacy, case management, and emotional support for survivors of human trafficking

• Pursue high advocacy staff retention by actively shouldering advocate responsibilities during periods of high demand or emergency, and supporting advocates’ emotional and supervisory needs.

• Ensure that advocates communicate a service-oriented approach: an eagerness to offer case management in collaboration with associated service providers, so those seeking assistance are provided with help, even when they are ineligible for advocacy services or are seeking something outside Unbound Now’s scope

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in social work or related field

• Clinical licensure

• Supervisory experience

• Experience working with victims of human trafficking, victims of child abuse and neglect, or youth experiencing homelessness and/or addiction
