Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS)
Full-Time
$40-45K based on experience & qualification + benefits*
Are you an empathetic and supportive leader? Do you remain calm when others are in crisis? In addition to providing leadership, training and support to our Crisis Intervention staff and volunteers, you will support survivors, their friends and families as they begin their healing journey. Our Crisis Intervention team often serves as the gateway to our services providing the first point of contact for many of our clients. You will connect with our clients through our 24/7 helpline, in person as a walk-in client or as a referral through our law enforcement referral program. The first step is often the most difficult and you can ease that by reducing their isolation and letting them know they are not alone. Be an anchor during their storm and apply today.
