Coordinated Entry for All Communications/Social Services Specialist
King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 04/06/2018 11:45 AM PDT04/06/2018 11:28 AM PDT
The Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) provides equitable opportunities for people to be healthy, happy, self-reliant and connected to community. On any given night over 9,000 people are homeless in King County. Both hidden and in plain sight, many families and individuals struggle to survive every day.
DCHS is leading the County's homeless work and the Coordinated Entry for All (CEA) Section plays a critical role in our effort to reduce homelessness in the region. The CEA Communications/Social Services Specialist provides a critical link between people experiencing homelessness and their future housing.
The purpose of a coordinated entry system is to ensure that all people experiencing a housing crisis have fair and equal access and are quickly identified, assessed for and connected to housing and homeless assistance based on their strengths and needs. CEA seeks to reduce homelessness by minimizing the amount of time that people experience homelessness by quickly moving them into safe and stable permanent housing without preconditions (i.e. sobriety, mental health treatment, criminal history, previous evictions, or a minimum income threshold) or service participation requirements, and in which rapid placement and stabilization in permanent housing are primary goals.
The CEA Communications/Social Services Specialist will be responsible for assuring that inquiries about CEA are responded to in an appropriate and timely fashion. This includes managing the CEA phone line and general email account. The CEA Communications/Social Services Specialist will use their knowledge of intake and assessment techniques to maintain confidential records and coordinate logistics for meetings and trainings using technologies such as Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and Excel. This is a Term Limited Temporary (TLT) position scheduled to end on 5/31/19.
WHO MAY APPLY: This position is open to all qualified applicants who meet the minimum requirements. DCHS values diverse perspectives and life experiences and encourages people of all backgrounds to apply, including people of color, immigrants, refugees, women, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, veterans and those who have lived experiences.
WORK SCHEDULE: This position is scheduled to work 40 hours per week and is overtime eligible with supervisory pre-approval. The work week is Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
REQUIRED MATERIALS: Candidates who wish to be considered for this position must submit an online King County application and respond to the supplemental questions.
RECRUITER: Sue Churchill, Susan.Churchill@kingcounty.gov
