Child & Family Services Coordinator-Family Justice Center

Child & Family Services Coordinator

One Safe Place Macon, an initiative of Crisis Line & Safe House of Central Georgia, is seeking candidates for the position of Child & Family Services Coordinator. One Safe Place Macon Family Justice Center (FJC) is a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary, co-located service center that provides services to victims of interpersonal violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder or dependent adult abuse, and human trafficking, all under one roof.

Both public and private partner agencies assign staff on a full-time or part-time basis to provide services from one location. The core concept is to provide one place where victims can receive services, such as talking to an advocate, planning for safety, interviewing with a police officer, meeting with a prosecutor, receiving medical assistance, receiving information on shelter, and getting help with transportation.

FJCs focus on reducing the number of times victims tell their story, the number of places victims must go for help, and aim to increase access to services and support for victims and their children. As One Safe Place Macon provides essential services, this position will require working on-site. This position is funded by Byrne Discretionary funds through the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
