Family Support And Care Coordinator (Case Worker/BSW)

The Hermann Center is seeking a Family Support and Care Coordinator (Case Worker/BSW) to provide intake support, care coordination, resource navigation, family support, and case management services for young children, pregnant and postpartum individuals, caregivers, and families receiving services through the Hermann Center and Synchrony programs.

This position serves as an important bridge between families, clinical providers, psychiatry, community resources, and support services.

The role offers opportunities for professional growth within an interdisciplinary academic medical center committed to early childhood mental health, family-centered care, innovation, training, and community impact.
