ABOUT HARBOR HOUSE

Harbor House of Central Florida works to prevent and eliminate domestic abuse by providing critical life-saving services to survivors, implementing and advancing best practices, and educating and engaging the community in a united front. We offer emergency shelter, court injunctions, and a domestic abuse hotline. We're here to prevent and end domestic abuse through education.

You will deliver immediate crisis intervention and safety planning for our clients, advocating for victims of domestic violence while providing support and information about available options. Your role is to educate and empower, supporting clients' decision-making without dictating their choices.

You will develop professional relationships with clients, monitor their progress towards goals, facilitate support groups, and ensure their ongoing physical and emotional well-being. Additionally, you will conduct lethality assessments to prevent domestic violence homicides, serious injury, and re-assault, encouraging survivors to utilize support and shelter services.

You will play a crucial role in making a difference in the lives of those experiencing difficult circumstances.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • At least one year of crisis intervention experience
  • Clean driving record
  • Basic to intermediate computer skills
