Position / Job Title : Domestic Violence Unit Investigator (Temp)
Location: Seatle, WA
Category : Non-Attorney
Job Description: This Term Limited Assignment will last through October 2027 and may be extended based on continued grant funding.
With more than 200 attorneys and professional staff, the Seattle City Attorney’s Office is one of the largest law offices in Seattle and is the third-largest public law office in the state. Our office is committed to making Seattle a safe, healthy, empowered, and thriving community for everyone. We strive to address historical injustices within the court system with self-examination and to pursue justice in Seattle with integrity, creativity, and fairness. We believe working transparently, innovatively, and in collaboration with our partners in the community is necessary to achieve outcomes that promote equity, accountability, and healing.
Join a team of passionate prosecutors and advocates working together to address gender-based violence in Seattle by holding abusers accountable and providing victims with information, support, and resources. The Seattle City Attorney’s Office Domestic Violence Unit prosecutes crimes of misdemeanor intimate partner domestic violence, family violence involving adult children, elder abuse, and child abuse/neglect cases. The Domestic Violence Unit provides support and resources for child, adult, and elder victims.
The Domestic Violence Unit is composed of experienced prosecutors, victim advocates, and dedicated support staff. It is proud of its diversity and is represented by people of various cultures and ethnic/racial backgrounds.
Advocates work closely with prosecutors to give victims the best possible assistance and a voice in both arrest and non-arrest incidents. This is a 3-year temporary Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) grant-funded position that will support the work of the advocates and paralegals by doing an in-depth analysis of the criminal and order history of each defendant to evaluate their risk profile and ensuring that high-risk cases receive more investigation, collaboration, and victim outreach. This up-front analysis of the case will allow prosecutors to make more informed sentencing recommendations and will decrease the reliance on victim’s testimony to prove our cases, resulting in better outcomes for victims.
In addition to this opportunity to join a team that is dedicated to public service, the City Attorney’s Office offers a generous benefits program that includes paid leave benefits, paid parental and family leave, low-cost health benefits, and the opportunity to participate in a defined benefit retirement program.
The position is housed in the Columbia Center.
