The position summary is below.  If you know anyone who may be a good fit, please pass this along.  Thanks.

The Director of Advocacy and Supportive Services is an ideal position for an individual with vision who is a hands-on problem-solver and wants the opportunity to evaluate a number of the agency's service categories, redesign and implement new policies and procedures, and manage changing programs.  This position is responsible for evaluating and maximizing the effectiveness of NYHRE's case management and structured intervention services, guiding the agency's advocacy and policy initiatives, overseeing NYHRE's Peer Training and Leadership Program, and developing and leveraging relationships with external service providers to ensure participant access to effective, non-judgmental services.
