About this role

Show full description
As our SART Program Coordinator RN, you will lead and drive the operations of the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program serving our Santa Barbara County community. You will set the administrative direction of the program while remaining clinically engaged—participating in the examiner call rotation to care for acute adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients in the Emergency Department. As a central liaison and dedicated patient/victim advocate, you will sustain compassionate, continuous communication with physicians, patients, families, community agencies, and county partners. Every day, you will deliver comprehensive, trauma-informed acute examinations and precise case management grounded in your scope of licensure and regulatory protocols. You will oversee the meticulous, timely collection and preservation of forensic evidence—maintaining strict chain of custody—for law enforcement and future judicial proceedings, and you will extend your impact beyond the exam room by providing expert witness testimony in court. You will develop and refine program protocols, evaluate outcomes, review SANE charts and evidentiary documentation, and partner with the District Attorney's SART Coordinator and Santa Barbara County SART Coalition to strengthen coordinated survivor care.
