About the Job
Building Community in New Hampshire is a private non-profit organization that provides post-resettlement services to refugees and other immigrants. We help New Americans navigate their way to safe, healthy, productive, prosperous, and connected lives in New Hampshire.
BCNH seeks a bilingual case manager to provide practical support to Pashto- or Dari-speaking women and children from Afghanistan. The case manager will provide similar services to speakers of other languages when he or she is able to do so in culturally and linguistically appropriate ways. We can be flexible about hours: anything from 15 to 40 hours per week, with flexible scheduling.
The case manager will work one-on-one with refugees or with groups of refugees, helping them with access to social services, housing, medical care, and educational opportunities for themselves and their children. The case manager will provide encouragement and direction to improve clients’ capacity to participate in community life and to build connections in the region. The case manager will ensure that the needs of their clients are assessed and met in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and will help clients engage in other BCNH programs ranging from English classes, nutrition counseling, and citizenship prep to field trips in the White Mountains. The case manager may use other approaches to help clients attain self-sufficiency, success, and joy in New Hampshire.
BCNH has offices in Manchester and Nashua and serves refugees in Concord and throughout the state. The case manager does not need to live close to the office, provided they can meet clients in person and virtually as necessary.
