The Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS) is hiring for a Bilingual Adoption Coordinator (Spanish/English). Under general supervision, this role is responsible for facilitating on-site and off-site adoptions for animals from Oakland Animal Services (OAS), especially for dogs. The person in this role will have a primary focus on removing barriers for potential adopters who are low-income or have no or limited English proficiency, particularly for people who speak Spanish, as well as other non-English speakers.
Since 2020, OAS has focused on improving the experience of potential adopters, and increasing lifesaving, by making the process more welcoming and accessible, and by focusing on matchmaking. The adoption rate for dogs and cats has tripled since that time.
The ideal candidate will be highly organized, flexible and able to work well in a fast-paced team environment. The Bilingual Adoption Coordinator will work as part of a three-person adoption team and will work in close collaboration with the OAS Volunteer Coordinator.
