A unique opportunity for a committed, resourceful lawyer to lead a team reinventing the immigration legal services program for the leading provider of such services to torture survivors residing in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
TASSC BACKGROUND
The Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition (TASSC) International is the only U.S. organization of its kind founded by and for survivors of torture. Since our founding in 1998, TASSC has provided services to survivors of torture from 72 countries. Our mission is to end the practice of torture wherever it occurs and support survivors as they empower themselves, their families, and communities.
POSITION OVERVIEW
TASSC is looking for a Senior Counsel and Director of Legal Services to direct the Legal Services Program (LSP) on a full-time basis, to provide immigration related legal representation for survivors of torture, and to supervise the LSP team. The position reports directly to the TASSC Executive Director. This is a full-time (37.5 hours/week) position, but flexible scheduling is possible.
