POSITION SUMMARY
The Center for Children & Youth Justice, founded in 2006 by Justice Bobbe J. Bridge (ret.), is committed to reforming Washington's juvenile justice and child welfare systems. CCYJ leads communities, our state, and the nation in empowering children and youth, stabilizing families, and strengthening communities through meaningful and lasting reform. CCYJ identifies gaps in the system, researches, develops innovative and creative solutions, and ensures that policymakers integrate these system improvements into practices and procedures. CCYJ's results are realized into state law, adopted as standing protocols by the courts, schools, and other partners; and they are developed into new interventions for at-risk, abused and/or neglected children and their families. CCYJ has succeeded in driving positive systems change for more than a decade. Following an extensive national search, our Board of Directors appointed our second President and CEO Rachel Sottile in late 2018.
CCYJ seeks a part-time bookkeeper to support our vendors (local community based organizations) to develop their capacity to manage grant related financial (bookkeeping/accounting) and compliance matters. This position is responsible for maintaining grant accounting records for CCYJ vendors and providing technical assistance support to vendors as needed, to meet invoice and backup requirements of our funder. This may include supporting vendors to implement (new) electronic accounting systems. Record maintenance may include recording financial transactions, managing accounts payable and receivables, reconciling bank statements, processing invoices and expense reports, managing payroll, invoicing, federal and state tax deposits, and annual tax forms, as needed.
The Bookkeeper position is a part-time position, up to 29 hours per week. Some availability for work on Tuesdays and Thursdays is required, with the remaining work hours to be determined by mutual agreement of the Senior Accountant and the Part-Time Bookkeeper. Additionally, this position is grant term-limited until December 31, 2024. There is the possibility of extension into 2025, depending on available resources.
CCYJ's offices are located in Seattle, Washington. This position may require significant (50%) local travel within King County, Washington. Reliable transportation is required.
This position will be set up to work in a hybrid setting (combination of home office and in-office) and may be subject to change at any time at the discretion of the CEO/President.
