The Crime Recovery Specialist plays a critical role in providing timely and effective support to victims of serious violent incidents. Working within a trauma-informed framework, this specialist offers immediate assistance to individuals and families affected by such events.
Key responsibilities include engaging with clients through phone and face-to-face interactions, conducting assessments, and facilitating referrals for long-term recovery initiatives. This involves brokerage services, crisis response, and case management to promote healing and resilience.
A successful candidate will possess relevant qualifications, ideally in Social Work, Psychology, or a related field, coupled with significant experience in trauma-informed practice, crisis intervention, and mental health support. Strong communication and listening skills are essential, along with personal resilience to navigate potentially challenging environments.
