Family Support Specialist; Concord, NH

Family Support Specialist

The early years of a child's life are filled with incredible opportunity—and sometimes incredible challenges. At Waypoint, we believe every family deserves compassionate support, encouragement, and the resources they need to build a strong foundation for the future.

Our Healthy Families America program partners with parents during one of the most important times in their lives, providing education, guidance, and encouragement that helps children thrive and families grow stronger together.

We're looking for a compassionate, relationship-focused professional to join our Family Support team in Concord. If you're passionate about empowering families, building meaningful connections, and creating lasting change in your community, we'd love to meet you.

As a Family Support Specialist, you'll partner with expectant parents and families with young children through regular home visits, providing education, support, advocacy, and encouragement tailored to each family's unique strengths and goals.

This role is built on trust and relationships. You'll meet families where they are—both literally and figuratively—helping them build confidence as parents, celebrate milestones, navigate challenges, and connect with valuable community resources.

Working alongside schools, healthcare providers, community agencies, and fellow Waypoint team members, you'll become an important part of each family's support network while helping children get the strongest possible start in life.

Reflective supervision and ongoing professional development ensure you'll always have the support you need to do this meaningful work.
