They specialize in preventing domestic violence, increasing economic stability, protecting consumers, expanding healthcare access, and preventing homelessness. BayLegal is committed to diversity and inclusion, fostering an environment where women, persons of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply for job opportunities.
BayLegal seeks a passionate, self-reflective, and empathic social worker to work with unhoused or recently housed San Franciscans with disabilities who are being represented by BayLegal in their claims for Social Security disability benefits. The primary role of the social worker is to engage clients through ongoing outreach, including home visits, and support clients, as they are ready, to connect to and maintain health care. The social worker also helps clients navigate the homelessness response system, connects clients to resources including income and health benefits, and supports clients to attend critical appointments related to their legal case.
