TeamChild is a nationally recognized nonprofit legal aid organization serving youth across Washington
State, with office locations in Seattle, Tacoma, Yakima and Spokane. TeamChild’s mission is to uphold
the rights of youth involved, or at risk of involvement, in the juvenile justice system to help them secure
the education, healthcare, housing and other support they need to achieve positive outcomes in their
lives. We have three mutually reinforcing program strategies: legal services, policy advocacy, and
training and community education. Core to all of our work is our legal services program, which reaches
youth 12-24 years old in four of Washington’s largest counties as well as youth incarcerated in our
state’s juvenile prison and community facilities. Our clients are youth and young adults who are
entangled in juvenile court and the child welfare system and need civil legal advocacy to prevent
homelessness, access education and employment and get their basic health and other needs met. In
our work, we also aim to move systems away from exclusion, punishment, arrest, and incarceration
towards more effective and community-based strategies that address root causes and provide culturally
meaningful and developmentally appropriate support and opportunities for young people.

TeamChild is seeking a Director of Legal Services who will be responsible for leading and maintaining
TeamChild’s high quality and holistic direct legal services program consistent with the organization’s
values, vision and mission. In this role, the Director of Legal Services will build on TeamChild’s twenty
years of experience and collaboratively develop, lead and implement priorities and impact strategies
and supervise our client-directed work across the state.
The Director of Legal Services supervises four Managing Attorneys and the Juvenile Rehabilitation
Institutions & Reentry Project staff and oversees the onboarding, training, and professional
development of all attorney and non-attorney legal services staff. The Director of Legal Services does
not carry a caseload but provides litigation and other case handling support to Managing Attorneys and
other staff attorneys across the state. The Director of Legal Services oversees and manages attorney
licensing, protocols and professional and ethical duties related to case handling and contract acquisition,
deliverables, and reporting related to the legal services program activities.

The Director of Legal Services reports to the Executive Director, is a member of TeamChild’s Executive
Team, and works with all staff in supporting strategic policy advocacy, community engagement, and
communication efforts to ensure visibility and accountability across diverse communities and social
justice movements. This position will require frequent travel to TeamChild offices across the state. We
anticipate this position will be based out of TeamChild’s King County office in Seattle, but are open to
considering the Pierce County office in Tacoma if that is preferred.

The salary range for this position is $65,000 – $90,000.
