Position Overview:
One Safe Place Macon Family Justice Center (FJC) is a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary,
co-located service center that provides services to victims of interpersonal violence,
including domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder or dependent adult abuse,
and human trafficking, all under one roof. Both public and private partner agencies
assign staff on a full-time or part-time basis to provide services from one location. The
core concept is to provide one place where victims can receive services, such as talking
to an advocate, planning for safety, interviewing with a police officer, meeting with a
prosecutor, receiving medical assistance, receiving information on shelter, and getting
help with transportation. FJCs focus on reducing the number of times victims tell their
story, the number of places victims must go for help, and aim to increase access to
services and support for victims and their children.
One Safe Place Macon is currently in the development phase and slated to open in mid
2024. This position will work mostly remotely with in-person meeting requirements until
the center opens in 2024 at which time the position will be fully in-person at One Safe
