Bilingual Client Navigator (Bienvenidos Program): 

​

Seeking a bilingual (Spanish speaking) individual to be part of our Front Desk team, and the main contact for Spanish speaking clients and referral sources in the Central Oregon community.

This is currently a 30hr a week position in conjunction with our new BIENVENIDOS program, funded by a grant from Pacific Source.  However, we do plan to continue this position beyond this initial ‘set-up’ year, likely expanding to 40hrs weekly with potential for some case management work. Current starting salary for this job is $17-$18 an hr, dependent on qualifications. (benefits and $1,200 hiring bonus) 

 

May include some weekday evening hours and potential Saturdays. Yet to be determined.

• Desiring to promote the expansion of mental health services to Spanish speaking persons.
