Description
STEPS To End Family Violence (STEPS), founded in 1986 by the legendary Sister Mary Nerney, has the expertise to provide specialized programming to meet the multiple needs of vulnerable individuals and families. STEPS offers a variety of innovative, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive programming focused on the prevention of intimate partner violence; advocacy and healing for survivors; as well as increasing awareness of the epidemic of gender-based violence; and transforming the rhetoric and institutions that sustain such violence.
The Economic Empowerment Specialist (EES) will maintain a caseload of 20-25 clients seeking Economic Empowerment services. The EES will provide trauma-informed support and advocacy to survivors of intimate partner violence on issues related to career and educational goals, budgeting, job applications, resumes and cover letters, credit review and repair strategies, housing advocacy, immigration advocacy, SNAP benefits and public assistance, food resources, and financial independence and wellness. The EES will also provide written advocacy and court/appointment accompaniment. The EES is responsible for maintaining all documentation, client files, and notes as required by the agency. The EES will receive one hour per week of individual supervision. The ideal candidate will bring a passion for social justice and anti-oppressive practice, experience providing support to survivors of intimate partner violence and/or other forms of trauma, and a desire to work collaboratively with a team of creative and committed clinicians and advocates. Will work under the supervision of the Economic Empowerment Supervisor in our East Harlem office.
