The mission of Foothills Child Advocacy Center is to provide a coordinated system of effective response and intervention to children who have been victimized and to their families. Our goals are to minimize trauma, promote healing, and ensure child safety.

The primary service area of this position includes the surrounding counties of Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Madison, and Nelson and other surrounding counties as possible. This position will travel with the forensic interviewer to provide victim advocacy and support services in Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, and Madison Counties. This position will also serve as a backup victim advocate for families from Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
The non-offending caretaker’s response to child sexual and physical abuse is one of the most important factors that determine the psychological outcome for the child victim. The goals of this position in fulfilling the mission of Foothills Child Advocacy Center are to strengthen the role and responsibility of the non-offending caretaker to become a protective resource for the abused child.
This person provides trauma-informed crisis intervention on behalf of child victims and their non-offending caregivers, including assessment of risk and needs, trauma screenings, parent education, and safety and treatment planning; coordination of services including but not limited to medical and mental health referrals; and follow-up with the non-offending caretakers during the investigative and treatment process to ensure that their needs are being met.

This person also participates in the surrounding counties MDT meetings and maintains positive relationships with MDT members and agencies. This position shares responsibility for data entry/case tracking.
The Victim Advocate is a grant-funded, part-time, salaried position (24 hours a week) and reports directly to the Executive Director. If the person is a licensed mental health professional, there is a possibility that this position could be combined with the open Mental Health Clinician part-time position to become full-time.

Qualified candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree in social work or related field from an accredited college or university; have at least two years of experience working with children and families; and be highly sensitive to the needs and welfare of children and caretakers who have experienced physical and/or sexual maltreatment. This position requires the ability to work flexible hours to meet the needs of clients and may include evening hours, although rarely.
