    Description

    CJJC is hiring for a part-time, non-exempt position. The Clinic Receptionist provides counseling to low-income SF tenants for a wide range of tenant issues, including evictions, repairs, harassment, deposits, foreclosure issues, and move-outs.

    The Clinic Receptionist represents the service part of the organization and is one of the main ways we connect community members to the organization and the work we do. The Clinic Receptionist is often the first point of contact for many folks who call the organization or drop in for help with their housing situation. As such, the receptionist has a unique position in learning about the housing issues that directly impact the community. This role is an important part of the clinic in making sure that people's needs are addressed and they can get the help they need, including providing outside referrals. The intention is that clients become members of the organization and participate in important work through our housing & immigrant rights campaigns, civic engagement, actions, member meetings, volunteering in the clinic, etc.
