Department Description

Department Purpose

The UC Davis Center for Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE) provides anti-oppressive and trauma-informed primary prevention, education, and advocacy to UC Davis students, faculty, staff, and affiliates who have been impacted by sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, intimate partner violence, stalking, and gender identity and sexual orientation-based harassment. CARE approaches our work with a dedication to honoring each individual for who they are, the identities they hold, and the intersections of their experience.

The UC Davis CARE program exists to provide confidential crisis counseling and advocacy for UC Davis students, staff and faculty who have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, intimate partner violence, and stalking. Victim services include, but are not limited to, crisis counseling, safety planning, assistance with accessing victim's rights and accommodations, case management, and assistance and accompaniment throughout the administrative and criminal reporting processes. Victims may access services at CARE by scheduling an appointment or by coming to the office during business hours. CARE also ensures emergency response during non-business hours. CARE is an independent office, with no reporting responsibility to Title IX or campus police.

CARE leads campus-wide efforts to prevent sexual harassment and all forms of sexual violence, including sexual assault, sexual exploitation, intimate partner violence, and stalking. CARE designs and delivers a variety of educational programs, trainings for professionals, and awareness events and materials to support the mission of UC Davis. CARE staff collaborate extensively with campus and community partners to ensure comprehensive and inclusive advocacy and prevention services at UC Davis and UC Davis Health.

Job Summary

Reporting to the CARE Director, the Training and Education Specialist for CARE is an experienced professional with in-depth knowledge in the overall field of sexual violence and harassment, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking, and their evidence-based prevention and health promotion strategies. Under the general direction of the Director, the Training and Education Specialist, fully skilled in instructional design and public speaking, develops, plans, organizes, delivers, and assesses training and educational programs, including new student orientation, classes and seminars, violence prevention programs, training for professionals, and outreach and awareness events related to sexual assault and harassment, intimate partner violence, and stalking. The Training and Education Specialist, a demonstrated leader with excellent judgement, trains and supervises student staff, interns, and volunteers. Utilizing data and evidence-based methods, the Training and Education Specialist coordinates and collaborates with other CARE staff, community partners, and key stakeholders to implement violence prevention and health promotion strategies for staff, faculty, and students, including graduate, undergraduate, and professional school students.

The Training and Education Specialist occasionally provides confidential crisis intervention, risk assessment and safety planning, advocacy and accompaniment, in an atmosphere that requires frequent problem solving and analysis of victim rights and options. Utilizing culturally -relevant and trauma-informed practices, this position supports students, staff, and faculty from diverse backgrounds who have experienced sexual assault or harassment, intimate partner violence, or stalking, and may provide advocacy and accompaniment services outside of business hours. Given the nature of this work, this position requires frequent problem solving and analysis of unique and high-risk situations, strong skills to manage one's own trauma-exposure response, and excellent judgement to know when supervision or consultation is necessary.

While the Training and Education Specialist supports both UC Davis and UC Davis Health, this position is primarily located at the Davis campus. Occasional travel between Davis and Sacramento, as well as other potential locations, may be necessary to fulfill the mission of the program.
