Studies have shown that women, nonbinary folks, and People of Color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every single one of the qualifications as described in a job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization and we are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job. That candidate may be one who comes from a background less traditional to our field of work, and that’s okay. We would strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of the qualifications described. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we strongly encourage people of color to apply for open positions. IowaCASA strives to be an actively anti-racist organization and acknowledges that this is a work in progress. The salary for this position is $60,000 annually, with an excellent benefits package that includes health, dental, and life insurance, retirement, generous paid leave, and flexible hours.
