Job Description
The VISTA will work with United Way to initiate the West Piedmont Data Quality Program that will act as a critical element of growing and expanding the coalition’s efforts to reduce poverty through targeted homeless prevention and rapid rehousing. The goal of this project is to ensure accurate and up-to-date data is in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and to build a process to sustain the data quality.
Applicants for this position should be self-driven and highly motivated individuals with a passion for serving communities and a love of data and information. Applicants must enjoy working with a variety of people and personalities and enjoy creating sustainable processes.
Applicants should have reliable transportation.
A college degree is not required but is desired; alternatively, 3+ years of related work experience could suffice.
The position includes a biweekly stipend of $877.66 and also includes healthcare benefits (or allowance if have insurance), childcare allowance, 10 days PTO and 10 days sick, as well as major holidays. At the end of completing the 1-year assignment, the member is awarded a $6,895 education grant which many Schools of National Service will match. Additionally, members are given non-competitive eligibility for federal employment opportunities. (If a member is over 55, the education grant can be passed on to other family members.)
Young and older adults in transition make great VISTAs, e.g., students completed some college but need a break or a chance to determine what they want to do, degreed students searching for that future path, end of career individuals transitioning, committed citizens that want to contribute to their communities and can take on a full-time job.
