Work. Serve. Thrive. With the City of Durham

HIRING Salary: $22.95 hour

SCHEDULE: Part-Time, Hours per week determined per program requirements

In 2022, the Durham Community Safety Department (DCSD) launched four 911 crisis response programs—collectively known as HEART (Holistic Empathetic Assistance Response Teams). Please visit our website and dashboard, watch this CNN clip, listen to this NPR segment, or read this piece from The Assembly. In 2025, DCSD has added a new division focused on Stabilization Services. This expansion represents an exciting new phase in DCSD’s development—and a thrilling opportunity to pair alternative response programs with stabilization services that can better support Neighbors.

In 2025, DCSD’s scope of work grew to include several other dimensions of community safety. Importantly, DCSD became the lead agency of Durham’s Continuum of Care, and incorporated the City’s homelessness system team into its department. That team, now known as the HOPE Team (Housing Opportunities and Pathways Engagement Team), supports the local continuum of care, homelessness providers, and Neighbors experiencing homelessness. Its purpose is to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in Durham. In data terms: to reach functional zero across populations experiencing homelessness.

DCSD’s Interns will collaborate with programs within our Stabilization Services. These programs include, but are not limited to the Following;

The Care Navigation program assigns two-person teams—consisting of a Crisis Response Clinician and a Peer Support Specialist—to follow-up with Neighbors within 48 hours of initial encounter with one of the crisis response teams mentioned above. Care Navigators’ primary goal is to connect Neighbors to the care they want and need within 30 days of initial encounter.
The Office of Survivor Care was established in 2025 as an entity created in response to the recommendations of the Community Safety & Wellness Task Force. This task force, led by members of the community, was formed to address critical issues surrounding safety, well-being, and the need for comprehensive support for survivors of violence and trauma. Its work underscored the importance of a dedicated office to provide holistic, survivor-centered services and resources, ensuring individuals impacted by violence receive the care and advocacy they need to heal and thrive. The Office of Survivor Care embodies this vision, prioritizing collaboration, equity, and community-driven solutions. Community Safety & Wellness Task Force | Durham, NC

ABOUT THE ROLE
DCSD’s Clinical Interns work closely with our Stabilization teams like; Care Navigation and Office of Survivor Care. These teams consist of Program Managers, Clinicians, and Peer Support Specialists. Clinical interns should expect hands-on engagement and a collaborative environment that fosters multi-level discussions pertaining to complex cases with our neighbors and within our teams. DCSD values meeting the person-centered needs of the Neighbors and engaging in care that the Neighbor is most comfortable; including meeting in their home, in the community, or over the phone.

DCSD’s approach to work is flexible, highly collaborative, and evidence-driven. Our departmental culture prizes equity, care, and the health and safety of our staff. We are looking for candidates who share similar approaches and principles. We envision adding team members who are not only colleagues but partners in this challenging and purpose-driven work.

Assure that connections are made to services and supports based on individual choice and clinical assessment. Facilitate warm handoffs to other services as needed, which could involve directly transporting the individual in assigned work vehicle.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation as required by program deliverables and departmental, local, state, and federal policy and requirements.
