Childrens' Connections, Inc., has started a new program to help strengthen families. The Parent Child Home Program is a nationally recognized program, and we will be the first PCH program in Texas! We are looking for Family Specialists from each of the following North Texas area counties: HOOD, JOHNSON, PALO PINTO AND SOMERVELL
Requirements include:
**MUST HAVE a Bachelor's degree (Human services field preferred)
**Knowledge of child development for preschoolers
**Work experience in child placement with CPS or a licensed adoption agency preferred
**Social Work license preferred
Family Specialists will work 20 hours a week (this includes your travel time to and from visits.) Some families may need visits in the evening and/or on a weekend depending on their work schedules, although many will need to meet during the day. You only need to meet with one parent and the child, but if both parents work outside the home, then after hours visits will need to be conducted. You will need to be available both during the work-day hours as well as some nights or weekends to meet with your families and to complete all training requirements. Unfortunately, this is not a part time position that would be compatible if you have a full time position in addition to this position. We may need to have you work a few more hours the week that you are in training. (probably 30 max)
All Family Specialists will meet with the Program Supervisors once a week for a two-hour meeting somewhere in a central DFW location.
The Family Specialists conduct program activities, direct service delivery to support families, compile program documentation, network with other agencies and provide referrals to community services. Program activities include providing 2 home visits a week for about 30 minutes each. Each week youˇ¦ll bring each parent/child duo a book or toy as our gift to them and show them how to experience it together. You'll conduct observations of parents' interactions with children and children's behavior. You'll be trained on how to record these and help evaluate progress that is made.
