Background
REST exists to expand pathways to freedom, safety and hope in order to end sex trafficking. REST offers programs that are centered on the strengths, needs and individual choices of each survivor we serve. We offer a continuum of care that includes outreach, a 24/7 hotline, community advocates, a drop-in center, an economic empowerment program, emergency shelter, residential program, and housing services. We are inspired by our faith as a Christian organization, are dedicated to serving people of all faith backgrounds, and do not require faith engagement. Our culture is influenced by our values of belonging, honor, trustworthiness, and tenacity.
All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, sexual orientation, national origin, veteran or disability status. This position is open to cisgender and transgender females as the primary work location is for women only. As a Christian organization, this position must work in harmony with the organization’s statement of faith and support the spiritual health of the organization. REST is committed to building a diverse workforce. We strongly encourage survivors of sexual exploitation and people of color to apply.
ROLE SUMMARY
The Emergency Services Support Staff position is a part of the Emergency Services team, who are responsible for coverage in the REST’s Emergency Receiving Center (ERC) and 24/7 hotline. The ERC is a short-term emergency shelter for adult women who have experienced sex trafficking or the sex trade. Guests can stay at the shelter in individual rooms for an initial 30 days, with the option for ongoing extensions of 30 days depending on individual self-identified needs and engagement in services. Guests of the ERC receive stabilizing support like crisis intervention, referrals for on-site medical, mental health, and substance use treatment, and support groups. REST’s 24/7 hotline responds to calls from survivors, providing resources, information, and emotional support. Support Staff are often the first point of contact clients make when accessing shelter and hotline services with REST, and play a critical role in ensuring services are running smoothly. Central to this position is the ability to develop trusting relationships while maintaining policies and procedures to ensure safe and effective programming. All members of the Emergency Services team work in a cohesive manner to support the individual physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of guests.
