The Position
The Project Coordinator is responsible for the management and program coordination of the California Accountable Community for Health Initiative (CACHI) grant. This includes the successful creation and implementation of a local Accountable Community for Health in Santa Barbara County supporting caregivers.
The goal of the CACHI grant is “building stronger, healthier, more equitable communities.” For decades, long-standing inequities have exacerbated health issues in low-income communities and communities of color, resulting in persistent health disparities. Accountable Communities for Health (ACHs) provide a powerful framework for tackling those inequities by breaking down barriers and promoting a new way of working together in support of a target population; in this case, family caregivers.
The Project Coordinator will be expected to liaison with FSA staff working on the ACH, community partner agencies and CACHI staff; oversee project quality controls; assist with project budget management; ensure contractual targets are met; comfortable with policy and systems level work, and completion of qualitative and quantitative reports in a timely and accurate manner. This position requires a person who is an independent worker, self -motivated, enthusiastic and able to engage with people of diverse backgrounds in an easy, genuine manner. This position reports to the Senior Services Director. This position can be based out of any of FSA’s offices in Santa Maria, Lompoc, or Santa Barbara. Some travel within SB County may be required.
FSA strives to be a trauma-informed and resilience-oriented organization. Because working with those impacted by trauma can affect staff in various ways, FSA actively identifies and employs methods to support staff to embody a healthy and sustainable balance of care for both themselves and others.
