MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the life of a child.

  • Offer around-the-clock support (with backup available) when families need it most.

  • Ensure detailed and timely documentation to keep services on track.

  • Participate in the training and development of foster parents.

What We’re Looking For

  • A Bachelor’s degree in human services or related field.

  • At least 2 years of experience in mental health/human services, with child and family experience.

  • Flexibility to work nights, weekends, and holidays when needed.

  • A valid driver’s license and good driving record.

  • A heart for children and families navigating life’s hardest challenges.
