JFS seeks a compassionate, mission-driven individual to join the Operations team as the Interim Director of Safety and Security.
Consistent with its values and traditions as a Jewish organization, JFS provides human services primarily to San Diego communities. We also contribute to programs in Riverside County and other communities through partnerships where we add unique value and support. JFS prides itself as a “safe place to work and volunteer.” JFS maintains a contract for security services for the protection of its staff, volunteers, guests, clients, and facilities. A team of armed and unarmed security officers provides protection services for JFS facilities across San Diego County. These locations include offices that provide immigration, refugee, and asylum services. JFS also delivers site security for the Safe Parking Program, which provides a safe and welcoming environment for unsheltered families and individuals living in their cars, many of whom have recently found themselves homeless for the first time.
Currently, JFS’ top security priorities are continuing to develop and integrate its robust physical security systems at its facilities, training its staff and volunteers on emergency preparedness procedures and threat response training, and developing a safety and security plan that includes accessible policies and training materials.

The successful candidate must understand or be able to quickly understand JFS’ organizational culture, the agency’s relationship to its law enforcement and fire protection partners in the San Diego area, demonstrate a commitment to the idea of community-based security, foster a high level of confidence and trust in the JFS community, and maintain the physical and mental ability to defend self and others. Because of its work with broad constituencies in San Diego County, Riverside County, and beyond, JFS is seeking candidates who have a demonstrated commitment to cultural competence and leadership in building equitable, diverse, and inclusive environments.
