If you are a systems-minded professional passionate about supporting communities through a collaborative long-term recovery, then United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County is where you need to be. The Buncombe County Long-Term Recovery Group (BCLTRG) Disaster Case Management Lead works with contracted Disaster Case Management (DCM) agencies, the Case Management Committee and Chair, to lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of the BCLTRG Case Management Program, ensuring survivors receive the support they need while helping DCM agencies succeed.

The BCLTRG is a collaborative network of nonprofits, faith-based organizations, government agencies, and community partners working together to support equitable, coordinated disaster recovery following Hurricane Helene. Operating through a committee-led structure, the BCLTRG aligns resources, shares information, and streamlines services to ensure that individuals and families across Buncombe County, particularly those most impacted, can access the support they need to rebuild and recover. This position is a grant-funded position through December 2026 with the hope to extend past this date based on available funding. The goal for the BCLTRG is for it to become an independent non-profit organization. This position would, in the future, transition to direct employment with the BCLTRG.

As the BCLTRG Disaster Case Management Lead, you’ll play a critical role in guiding and strengthening a collaborative, survivor-centered disaster recovery program - turning a strategic vision into operational reality. Rather than directly supervising case managers, you’ll work closely with multiple community agencies, helping them build capacity, align efforts, and deliver high-quality services to impacted households. You’ll oversee program implementation, coordinate training, support data-informed decisions, and champion continuous improvement — all while ensuring that survivors’ needs and voices remain at the center of recovery efforts. This is an exciting opportunity to bring your leadership, coordination, and problem-solving skills to a meaningful, community-driven initiative.

Over time, this position is expected to evolve into a key resource for organization-wide technology management and adoption.
