Recruiting
The Bronx Defenders is committed to attracting a strong and diverse pool of applicants dedicated to serving the Bronx community. Every year, we receive thousands of applications for internships and full-time employment opportunities, and aim to conduct a thorough, thoughtful and equitable vetting and onboarding process to ensure we’re hiring excellent advocates, providing opportunities for people from marginalized communities and creating an anti-oppressive workplace. We work to provide a seamless transition into our office, and assist in providing robust training, support and programming for all new employees.
The Recruiting Coordinator plays an integral role on the Recruiting & Hiring Team by providing administrative and programmatic support for the hiring process for full time employees at all levels and across interdisciplinary teams, as well as for multiple internships, externships and early career training programs.
Salary is commensurate with experience. The salary range for this position is $55,000-$65,000. Full-time employees are eligible for a comprehensive benefits package including but not limited to medical, dental and vision coverage; a 403(b) plan with employer contribution; and a generous vacation, sick leave, and parental leave policy.
Approximately 70% of The Bronx Defenders' staff, including attorneys and non-attorneys, are represented by UAW Local 2325 - Association of Legal Aid Attorneys (AFL-CIO). This position is not within the bargaining unit.
This position is non-exempt. By law, non-exempt employees are compensated hourly based on their annual rate and therefore are entitled to over-time, whereas exempt employees are not.
To apply, please upload both a cover letter and resume as a single document when prompted. Applications missing any components or not submitted in the requested manner will not be considered.
The Bronx Defenders is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to maintaining a workplace that embraces staff with a diversity of backgrounds, identities, and experiences. We acknowledge the ways in which systemic oppression and injustice can undermine access to professional opportunities and are committed to conducting hiring and promotion processes that are equitable and accessible to those commonly excluded from the workforce. We do not discriminate against and in fact specifically encourage applicants from marginalized communities to apply, including those who identify as Black, Indigenous, people of color, queer, transgender, gender non-conforming, disabled, neurodivergent, and those directly impacted by criminal, civil, family, and immigration legal systems. We value lived as well as professional experience and particularly welcome applications from the Bronx community that we serve.
