You have the opportunity to join this dynamic and powerful organization as an Advocacy Supervisor, working both with CASA volunteers.
Job Description:
This is an exciting opportunity to have a critical role in a growing organization. 50% of this candidate’s time will be operating in the role of Bilingual Advocacy Case Supervisor. This role will support CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers with the goal of ensuring that abused and neglected children in the foster care system receive effective advocacy and permanency planning. The Advocacy Case Supervisor is responsible for volunteer supervision and coordination of cases.
Our staff is a tight knit team of highly driven individuals who are committed to the mission of the organization. Each team member is responsible for his or/her own responsibilities but also has ownership of the overall organizational success.
This position will work with a team of up to 30 volunteers and their cases to deliver high quality court appointed advocacy services to children in foster care and support. The successful applicant for this position will be experienced in the family court and/or child welfare system.

Regular, detailed case documentation and monthly reporting is required to maintain compliance with standards. Successful candidates must be flexible to attend occasional evening and weekend training and organizational events.
