Full Job Description

DVIPP Advocate

YWCA Greater Lafayette – Lafayette, Indiana
Full-Time | Non-Exempt

Looking for a career where your work truly matters?

At YWCA Greater Lafayette, our Domestic Violence Intervention and Prevention Program (DVIPP) provides critical support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of violence. Every day, our advocates help individuals and families move from crisis toward safety, stability, and hope.

If you’re compassionate, resilient, and able to stay calm under pressure, this is an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of survivors and our community.

What You’ll Do

This is a hands-on advocacy role that combines crisis intervention, client support, legal advocacy, and community collaboration.

Provide trauma-informed crisis intervention, emotional support, and safety planning for survivors
Assist clients with accessing emergency shelter, housing resources, counseling, employment services, and community support programs
Support survivors through protective orders, court hearings, and legal advocacy processes
Coordinate services with community partners including law enforcement, healthcare providers, social service agencies, and other support organizations
Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential client records and program documentation
Participate in community outreach, education, and awareness efforts related to domestic violence and survivor support
Attend and advocate alongside survivors during civil, family, and criminal court proceedings
Support the training and development of interns and volunteers
Participate in staff meetings, team collaboration, and ongoing professional development
Maintain strict confidentiality, professionalism, and ethical standards at all times
Participate in crisis line coverage, emergency shelter support, and on-call rotation as assigned

This role requires independence, flexibility, and the ability to respond professionally when situations change quickly.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who can lead with both empathy and accountability.

Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Psychology, Criminal Justice, Human Services, or related field preferred
Equivalent experience working in advocacy, crisis response, or human services may be considered
Strong understanding of trauma-informed care and survivor-centered advocacy
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Ability to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds
Ability to manage stressful or crisis situations with professionalism and sound judgment
Strong organizational skills and ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment
Familiarity with community resources and victim service systems preferred
Ability to work independently while collaborating with a larger team
Commitment to ongoing learning, including required continuing education units (CEUs)

What to Expect

Full-time, non-exempt position
Schedule will vary based on client needs, crisis response, court schedules, and program demands
This is not a traditional 8–5 role. Occasional evenings, nights, weekends, holidays, and on-call responsibilities are part of the position
Mix of office work, client advocacy, court support, shelter response, and community outreach
Local travel required for advocacy and court support
Physical activity may include standing, walking, lifting, and responding to urgent situations

Why This Role Matters

Survivors often meet advocates during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

You’re not just providing resources.
You’re helping individuals and families find safety, regain control, and begin rebuilding.
