Grief Services Coordinator

As a full-time Grief Services Coordinator and part of the Program Team, you will be responsible for planning and running support groups for children, teens, young adults, adult caregivers, and volunteers. Additionally, you’ll collaborate with other program staff on planning and implementing innovative programming ideas, volunteer facilitator trainings, and collaborative projects with outside organizations. As a member of the Program Team, you will also provide direct phone support to individuals seeking support and resources before and after a death.

You will not have on-call responsibilities, and there is minimal clinical documentation (no progress notes!). Since you won’t be overseeing or engaging with individual work, there isn’t a high case load.

We will particularly appreciate your experience working with the specific populations the Dougy Center is looking to increase our support for: Black/African American and Latino/Latinx communities. We also will appreciate your approachability, passion for our work, and sense of humor.
