About The Position

Are you interested in pursuing meaningful work? Are you interested in ending intimate partner violence in Tarrant County? Are you interested in impacting systems throughout Texas and across the country? Locally, The Archway is the county’s only state-designated family violence program – this means we have the honor of working alongside domestic violence victims to keep them safe and simultaneously do our part in holding offenders accountable. Additionally, The Archway conducts meaningful work throughout the state, and from coast to coast. We offer flexible work-life balance and an opportunity to change the community – and the world. We are excited to welcome new staff into our family and to work on this critical, life-saving mission together.
