About the Role
As a Family Centered Support Specialist, you'll work directly with children and youth (ages 3-21) and their caregivers in homes and community settings. In partnership with a Family Centered Clinician (FCC) who creates the treatment plan, you'll bring that plan to life-coaching caregivers, teaching practical skills, and supporting the family's ability to thrive together.
What You'll Do
Provide hands-on, skills-based support to children/youth and caregivers in home, school, and community settings.
Implement the FCC's treatment plan; reinforce strategies that build daily living, social, and coping skills.
Help families navigate resources and maintain stability-particularly those at risk of separation.
Maintain a target of 25 productivity (billable) hours per week, typically serving ~2 families per day.
Participate in weekly supervision to review progress, troubleshoot barriers, and refine strategies.
Document services accurately and on time; communicate regularly with the FCC and care team.
Work a schedule that often includes afternoons and early evenings to meet family needs.
"Day in the Life"
Review the FCC's plan and your visit schedule.
Meet a caregiver after school to practice behavior-support routines.
Coach a teen in the community on communication and problem-solving skills.
Check in with the FCC during supervision to adjust approaches and next steps.
Complete brief, timely documentation before wrapping up the day.
Qualifications
Bilingual, Spanish/English-able to conduct all sessions and documentation needs in Spanish and English.
Education:
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in a human services field from an accredited institution (Bachelor's preferred).
Experience:
At least 1 year working with children, adolescents, or transition-age youth in a clinical or community setting.
Valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle for local travel.
Comfortable working in homes and community settings with a short-term, stabilization focus (typical episode: 9-12 weeks).
