Join a passionate, dynamic team dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. For over 100 years, YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley has provided programs and services that form a critical continuum of response, healing, and prevention. Our dedication to the people we serve is unparalleled. We have an exciting future, and the team to deliver on that lasting change for the people we serve. To encourage survivor self-determination, services are delivered through a strengths-based, non-judgmental and trauma-informed lens that aligns with our mission. Be a key part of shaping this future as our new Bilingual Client Services Coordinator (Central).

Reporting to the Crisis Intervention Manager, the Bilingual Client Services Coordinator (Central) serves as a first point-of-contact for the community and provides intake, needs assessments, and screenings to other department programs, as well as community referrals, resources, and information to individuals and families seeking assistance at YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley.

We are seeking a compassionate, organized, and reliable individual with a high level of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.

Candidates must have excellent interpersonal skills to work independently and as part of a team. You must have an understanding of feminism and a strong commitment to social justice. Additionally, an ideal candidate will possess knowledge of and sensitivity to domestic violence and sexual assault issues, trauma, gender equity and client-centered service provision. Candidates must have a Bachelor’s Degree in a social services field or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Key to success is the ability to be present in a changing work environment, the ability to work independently and as a member of a diverse team with flexibility, initiative and the ability to prioritize effectively and model healthy boundaries with empathy and compassion. Candidates should be competent in using Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint) and have experience in confidential data management and record keeping. The ideal candidate is a warm, self-starter deeply committed to providing services from a strengths-based, social justice and anti-oppression framework. Prior advocacy-based counseling and case management experience is a plus. Spanish bilingual, bi-cultural and bi-literate skills are required.

Work hours are primarily day-time. Schedule TBD. Delivery of service may include overtime to accomplish task at hand. On-call duties are required during evenings and overnight on a rotation. Work includes lifting up to 30 pounds. Susceptible to compassion fatigue and/or vicarious trauma.

Must have completed or be willing to complete a 65-hour California State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Counselor certification. (Training will be provided.)
