Qualified candidates will have:

• A bachelor’s degree in social work, human services, psychology, sociology, public health, international studies, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• At least two years of experience in case management, human services, another client‑facing role, or demonstrated experience working with immigrant, vulnerable, or underserved populations.
• Experience working with immigrant communities strongly preferred.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple clients, priorities, deadlines, and documentation requirements.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to build respectful, collaborative relationships with clients, coworkers, community partners, and service providers.
