PURPOSE:

Jewish Community Services (JCS) takes a population health approach to supporting the mental health and well-being of New York City’s Jewish community. JCS works to reduce stigma, strengthen resiliency, expand access to culturally responsive care, and equip Jewish communal organizations to better support their members through psychoeducation, consultation, resources, and referral pathways to treatment when needed.

The Crisis Response and Community Preparedness department strengthens the capacity of Jewish communities and partner organizations to prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises, trauma, and emerging communal challenges through clinical expertise, organizational consultation, preparedness planning, and resilience-building. The department responds when crises occur, builds capacity before they occur, and sustains individuals and communities through specialized stabilization services.

This role supports JCS’s domestic violence work and helps strengthen community-based pathways to care, safety, and support for survivors of intimate partner violence. It also carries individual crisis response in support of Community Stabilization Services.

POSITION OVERVIEW:

The Community Stabilization and DV Support Specialist will provide oversight and coordination for JCS’s domestic violence grant and play a key role in strengthening services for survivors of intimate partner violence within the Jewish community. The primary focus of this role is to support the clinical and programmatic implementation of the grant, including assessment and triage, clinical coordination, consultation, short-term crisis support, and linkage to treatment and other resources for domestic violence survivors, including those who may need access to shelter.

This position will work closely with the Sr Director overseeing the domestic violence grant and other JCS leaders to support the growth, coordination, and visibility of domestic violence services. The Specialist will liaise with the agency’s domestic violence shelters to help ensure culturally attuned access and support for Jewish clients, collaborate with the Assistant Director of Community Engagement to strengthen outreach, engagement, and referral pathways, and help develop trainings, resources, and other supports that increase awareness and reduce stigma.

This role will help strengthen awareness of and access to domestic violence services in the Jewish community by supporting responsive care pathways, community engagement, and culturally attuned partnerships. The Specialist will also provide individual crisis response, responding to individual crisis situations in support of Community Stabilization Services with short-term trauma-informed support and connection to resources, under the clinical supervision of the Senior Director.

In addition, as a member of the Crisis Response and Community Preparedness team, the Specialist will contribute to crisis response efforts and training as needed and appropriate.
