We are hiring a RESIDENTIAL WORKER! This position works directly with survivors of domestic violence, stalking, and human trafficking in our Hattiesburg shelter.
Depending on your availability, the position can be full-time with 16 hours weekday nights and 24 hours on weekends, or part-time on weekends. You'll be helping people at some of their worst moments while working with them to transition from "victim" to "survivor."
No two shifts are alike. You may take a crisis call one night, helping to get someone into the shelter and potentially saving their life. Another shift may find you teaching clients your favorite recipes in our kitchen! Our shelter is a family shelter and pet friendly, so you must be comfortable working in an environment with children and animals.
Do you love children? Even better! You'll have time for board games or other fun activities! We encourage team members to schedule activities with clients. If you have a certain hobby such as art or gardening, great! We'll get the supplies for you to lead a workshop. We do serious work 24 hours a day, every day of the year, but we know rest and leisure are important for helping people heal from trauma.
You won't find another job with the potential to make such an impact on people who need us! We become like family at DAFS and create an outstanding support system for each other. If you're ready to impact lives with an amazing, email your resume or note of interest to dafs@dafs.ms today! ... See MoreSee Less
