This role involves collecting and entering data into the appropriate reporting systems for funders, particularly focusing on Influx Care Facility (ICF) cases for unaccompanied children released from Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) shelters. The specialist will also support the ImportaMí team, which provides vital information services to unaccompanied children and their sponsors, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding their safety and access to services.

This position is fully remote, allowing for flexibility while contributing to a significant cause.

The role requires a strong commitment to accuracy and deadlines, as well as the ability to collaborate effectively with multiple teams.

Proficiency in computer literacy, database management, and analysis is necessary, along with experience in Microsoft Office Suite (Word and Excel), Adobe Acrobat, and other database/reporting systems. Familiarity with Unaccompanied Children’s Referral systems (UCORD and UCLS) is considered a plus. Strong interpersonal, communication, and administrative skills are crucial, as is the ability to prioritize projects with keen attention to detail.

This educational foundation should ideally be complemented by coursework or experience related to social services, legal studies, or a similar field that supports the work with unaccompanied children and immigrant families.

Experience:
The position requires at least one year of relevant experience, particularly in a non-profit legal environment or in roles that involve working with unaccompanied children and immigrant families. This experience should demonstrate the candidate's ability to manage data effectively and work within a legal framework, ensuring compliance with ethical standards and reporting requirements.

Languages:
Fluency in both Spanish and English is preferred, encompassing speaking, reading, and writing skills. This bilingual capability is essential for effective communication with unaccompanied children and their sponsors, as well as for collaboration with team members and stakeholders.
