CVIIC has an opening for a Bilingual (English-Spanish) Community Outreach and Immigration Case Worker, within our immigration services program.

An ideal candidate will be able to carry out the responsibilities described below and meet the requirements necessary to achieve excellent results. The position requires availability to work on some evenings and weekends and to travel as needed.
