Family Support Specialist –Community Based Voluntary Services
The Family Resource Center at Gorham is looking to hire a compassionate and motivated individual to join our Community Based Voluntary Services program as a Family Support Specialist.
The Family Support Specialist will work with families who were recently assessed by DCYF and determined to be at high or very high-risk of future DCYF involvement. After meeting any immediate family needs and developing a service plan, the Family Support Specialist will help families build and maintain bridges to other parenting, economic, or behavioral/mental health services to address underlying needs, strengthen protective factors, and promote family well-being.
The Family Support Specialist will utilize the Solution-Based Casework and Motivational Interviewing models with a focus on the following priorities;
· Working in partnership with families
· Focusing on family progress
· Focusing on programmatic solutions to difficult family experiences
· Celebrating family progress
The Family Support Specialist will assess when ongoing case management supports are no longer needed, and will develop a plan with the family to transition out of CBVS and into existing community-based supports.
Qualified candidates will have a valid driver’s license, car insurance, and a minimum of a high school diploma. Experience working with Office 365 applications such as word, excel, Sharepoint, Teams and OneDrive, is preferred.
