Unified Public Advocacy (UPA) is seeking high-energy, mission-driven Fire & Disaster Outreach Advocates to serve on the front lines of community response following residential fires and catastrophic losses.
This is not a desk job.
You will be responsible for monitoring active emergency incidents, responding in real time, engaging directly with displaced homeowners, and ensuring families immediately receive critical advocacy, guidance, and support during one of the most traumatic moments of their lives.
This is a paid, executive-track outreach role with significant earning potential and a clear path to regional and national leadership within our organization.
If you are calm under pressure, motivated by purpose, and want to build a career where impact and advancement move together, this role is for you.
Core Responsibilities
- Monitor fire and disaster alerts (scanners, alerts, incident reports) within assigned territory.
- Respond rapidly to active residential fire or disaster scenes in accordance with safety protocols.
- Engage directly with affected homeowners and families with professionalism, empathy, and authority.
- Explain available advocacy services and next steps in clear, compassionate language.
- Serve as the primary on-scene advocate, ensuring families are not left to navigate insurance, housing, or recovery alone.
- Coordinate with internal teams to initiate immediate support and case intake.
- Accurately document outreach activity, incident details, and homeowner engagement.
- Build trusted relationships with community stakeholders and local partners.
- Represent Unified Public Advocacy with integrity, confidence, and leadership at all times.
- Participate in training and ongoing development programs designed for executive advancement.
Leadership & Advancement Path
This role is designed as a pipeline to executive leadership.
High performers may advance into:
- Chapter President
- Regional Outreach Director
- Statewide Director
- National Leadership Roles
Compensation, authority, and scope grow with performance and commitment.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-stress environments
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Calm, empathetic, and confident when engaging distressed individuals
- Self-directed with strong situational judgment
- Willing to be mobile and responsive to live incidents
- Leadership mindset with long-term growth goals
- Prior experience in fire response, disaster relief, emergency services, outreach, insurance, restoration, advocacy, or community leadership is a strong plus — but not required
