Special Duty Asylum Seeker Coordination Program Manager [ https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/kingcounty/jobs/4700225 ] 11/04/2024 02:17 PM PST
Public Health – Seattle and King County is seeking a TLT or Special Duty Program Manager to lead in the role of assurance regarding health for individuals seeking asylum, with a focus on the health and well-being of pregnant persons, infants, and families. 
 
Beginning in early 2023, King County experienced an influx of people, primarily from the countries of Venezuela, Congo, and Angola.  
 
This position will serve as the primary coordinator role within Public Health around the response and resources provided to this population.  Additionally, this position will serve a coordinating role among community partners, shelters, internal partners to ease the work of Community Based Organizations and ensure that services are coordinated. This position will work closely with the Advance Practice Nurse Specialist with Healthcare for the Homeless, Parent Child Health Programs, Environmental Health, as well as with community leaders, and those providing prenatal and post-partum services within the community for asylum seekers. Assessing the healthcare needs and coordinating across all the locations is extremely time consuming. There are many challenges posed by multiple sites where asylum seekers are housed and the landscape of the situation is constantly changing.  The person that serves this position needs to be adept at reevaluating needs and updating the program’s approach to meet those needs as they unfold. 
 
This position is situated in the Community Health Services Division in the Parent Child Health Program. The primary work location will be on the 10th floor of the Chinook County Building, 401 Fifth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104. During COVID-19 precautions, this position will primarily telecommute. This position is FLSA-exempt. The employee will generally work a 40-hour work week. Workdays and hours may vary depending on community events and staff support.  Some weekday evenings and weekend work will be required, as well as regular travel to multiple locations throughout King County to work directly with people seeking asylum and partners providing services to this population.
