Overview

Are you the Case Manager we’ve been searching for? In this role, you will have the opportunity to share your passion for early childhood and supporting young families, by working with our youth!

JRI's Young Parent Support Program is a grant funded through the Department of Children and Family that supports young parents up to the age of 23. This program is free and voluntary to all participants who meet the sole eligibility criteria of age of parent.

The goal of this program is to support young parents as they develop self-sufficiency skills necessary for adult life, while they are also navigating the developmental needs of their infants and young children. This program nurtures the inherent strengths that the young parent already possesses while supporting them through a social network system that can be confusing and overwhelming. YPS believes that all parents want the best for their children;

however, many of our young parents have encountered obstacles and stressors that may impact their parenting skills. The Young Parent Support program works with many community agencies as we seek to support the unique needs of every individual.

The pay range for this position is $20.00 to $26.00 per hour
. The listed range reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to pay for this role at the time of posting the position. The actual compensation an employee is offered may vary based on several factors such as experience, education, licensure, certifications and qualifications. This range may be modified in the future.

Sign-on Bonus: We are offering a $1,000 sign on bonus paid out in full after 6 months of employment.

The YPS Case Manager primarily operates under a home-visiting model. Each Case Manager visits their assigned families weekly or bi-weekly, managing a caseload of no more than 15 families.

You will receive training to help you develop and grow your knowledge of infant and child development, parent-child interactions as well as build your skills in assessing family needs, conducting child development screens, identifying safety risks and developing goal plans with families.
