Prevention Program Coordinator

Job Title: Prevention Program Coordinator

Work Status: Full time (32 hours/week); Exempt

Starting Salary: $48,000-$52,000

To counter pay inequality and uphold internal parity, salaries are non-negotiable for new and current employees. Starting salaries are always listed clearly in job postings and salary offers are based on CCASA’s established formula to adjust for experience and cost-of-living.

Why our salaries are non-negotiable: Requiring new staff to negotiate in order to receive a fair salary often results in pay inequity, especially for women and other marginalized identities, and we do not want to compound that inequity as part of our compensation structure. Employees have the opportunity to progress through current salary bands through annual cost of living increases and higher-level responsibility increases, and into new salary bands through promotions.

Benefits: Flexible workplace; business closure between December 24 and New Year’s Day Observed; open vacation leave, 140 hours (20 days) of wellness leave per year, and 12 self-selected holidays per year; 100% employer-paid premiums for employees’ medical, vision, dental, short- and long-term disability, and life insurance; and a 2% retirement contribution.

Work Schedule: Mostly weekday business hours with some flexibility. Schedule may very due to job demands. Some evenings and weekends for youth meetings and events. Occasional overnight in-state or national travel.

Location: Colorado residency is required. CCASA’s office is located in Denver; however, staff are primarily working remotely and telecommuting within Colorado will be considered. CCASA may have required workdays in the office and other locations for in-person meetings and events.
