Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) seeks a temporary, full-time Spanish-English bilingual intake coordinator to join our Wenatchee team temporarily for a minimum of eight (8) months, with the possibility of an extension for an additional three (3) months. Applicants must be fluent in English and Spanish (other language(s) are welcome), and must be able to start the position by August 26, 2024.
Under the supervision of an attorney, the legal advocate will assist in the direct representation of immigrant community members and assigned outreach in Washington State. The legal advocate will primarily conduct intakes with all potential clients who are eligible for our services and meet our current case priorities, and will help maintain and coordinate cases throughout the intake process. Cases we handle involve immigration protections for survivors of crimes, including domestic violence and trafficking survivors, asylum seekers, individuals facing removal, candidates for DACA, TPS, and family petitions, as well as children and youth.
The anticipated hours of work are Monday – Friday, 9 am – 5 pm, with a 30 – 60 minute unpaid lunch break. Under NWIRP’s current COVID policies, new staff members must provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination (unless eligible for an exemption). Staff may choose to wear a face mask in the workplace, but it is not currently required. The position is eligible for a choice of hybrid or in-person work models. The hybrid model requires at least two full days in-office per week.
