The Department of Community Justice Victim and Survivor Services Unit is accepting applications for a Victim Advocate who will provide services to people who have been harmed by adults or youth on supervision with our department.

The mission of the Victim and Survivor Services Unit is to support people who have experienced harm by thoughtfully meeting their individualized needs, upholding victim rights, and enhancing our community’s response to victims/survivors by being a collaborative and trusted community partner that prioritizes survivor-led practices and policies. Our work is rooted and led by three core values:
Equity
Survivor led
Trauma Informed
These advocacy positions are mostly remote, so advocates must have a private work space that allows them to have confidential conversations with victims/survivors. The role also includes in person responsibilities like working together in an office setting, attending meetings, or to accompany a victim/survivor as they navigate our systems.
As a Victim and Survivor Advocate , you will make an impact by:

It is common to refer victims/survivors to resources around housing, relocation, legal support, basic needs, counseling, and financial losses.
Providing emotional support to victims/survivors and education around the impacts of trauma.
Coordinating and communicating on case management plans with Parole and Probation Officers and Juvenile Court Counselors on associated cases.
Maintaining records, referrals, and statistics etc.
Accompanying victims/survivors to court when needed.
Regularly attending unit meetings in both the juvenile and adult services division to share information and education around crime victims’ rights and working with crime victims/survivors.
Proactively engaging with staff in the Adult Services Division and Juvenile Services Division to discuss cases, provide support and consultation, and share about victim/survivor services available.
Assisting in the design and delivery of workshops and training programs for both the Department of Community Justice staff as well as partners such as police, prosecutors, and medical professionals.
Successful candidates will demonstrate:
Knowledge and understanding of the origins and impacts of the disparities, oppression, and injustices experienced by marginalized identities, and how these experiences affect victim/survivor engagement and outcomes within the criminal justice system.
Experience working with and supporting victims/survivors, and understanding of crime victims’ rights under Oregon Law.
Ability to promote a culture of respect, inclusiveness, and appreciation of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and values.
Knowledge of cultures, dynamics, and customs of traditionally oppressed communities.
Knowledge of local resources and agencies that support victims/survivors.
Understanding of the effects of abuse, trauma, and vicarious trauma.
Knowledge and understanding of trauma informed care principles and practice and restorative justice.
Comfort or willingness to engage with change.
Experience navigating the criminal and juvenile justice system.
