About the Role (Please Read Carefully) Are you committed to making a real difference by offering stability, empathy, and structure to women navigating extreme life challenges? As a Compassion Navigator at Norma Herr Women's Center, you will support adult women experiencing homelessness, trauma, crisis, and instability. This role is deeply meaningful and demanding. It requires emotional stamina, consistency, and dependable attendance to maintain safety and trust within the shelter. This is not flexible, on-call, or intermittent work. Residents rely on predictable, on-time staff for safety, emotional regulation, and continuity of care. Who We Are YWCA of Greater Cleveland works daily to address barriers to safe, affordable housing while providing trauma-informed, compassionate care. Since assuming operations in 2018, Norma Herr Women's Center has remained Cleveland's only low-barrier emergency shelter for adult women ages 18-80. We serve 200+ guests every night, 365 days a year, providing shelter, meals, and stabilization during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. What This Job Really Is A position where attendance is a safety issue, not a preference. An actively engaged in person role working with women experiencing trauma, grief, relapse, conflict, and crisis-sometimes all in the same shift. A role where you may leave your shift emotionally tired even if nothing "went wrong". Meaningful work that requires showing up consistently, even on hard days. What Success Actually Looks Like Arriving on time, every scheduled shift. Completing full shifts reliably. Fortifying your immune system to withstand increased exposure to communicable diseases. Holding firm boundaries while remaining compassionate. Asking supervisors for help early instead of pushing through until burnout. Following procedures, documentation requirements, and attendance policies consistently. What This Job Is Not It is not flexible around frequent call-offs or late arrivals It is not a stepping stone for individuals still actively stabilizing their own lives It is not primarily advocacy or relationship-building-it also involves operations, structure, and follow-through It is not a role where passion alone can replace reliability Your Impact as a Compassion Navigator Provide direct support to shelter guests, including check-ins and basic needs assistance Complete intake packets, incident reports, shift reports, and required documentation Offer emotional support and crisis intervention, connecting guests to appropriate services Practice trauma-informed care and de-escalation techniques Support daily shelter operations including meals, laundry, donations, and maintaining a safe, clean environment Key Competencies & Qualifications Ability to show up consistently and on time Proficiency in de-escalation and crisis response Emotional regulation and boundary-setting skills Strong communication and problem-solving abilities Comfort using computer and communication systems Ability to work independently and as part of a team Prior experience in social services or shelter settings is a plus, but reliability is essential Compensation & Benefits Competitive hourly wage starting at $17/ hour Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance 401(k) and additional benefits Paid training and professional development Meaningful work experience in social services Your Next Step If you've read this entire posting and believe you can consistently show up, manage emotional intensity, and commit to this level of responsibility, we encourage you to apply.
