About The Position

Build Something Bigger — And Change Lives, Including Your Own. In 1935, Louise Whitbeck Fraser opened a school in her home for people with disabilities — defying social expectations and choosing compassion over convention. She believed everyone deserves the chance to reach their potential and thrive. Today, that same bold spirit is alive in every Fraser service. We’re still building something bigger — a more inclusive, connected world where everyone belongs. At Fraser, you’ll find more than a job. You’ll find purpose. You’ll find growth. And you’ll find a place where your work changes lives — including your own. As a Community Health Worker/ Family Peer Specialist on the Integrated Health Care team, you will support client care by collaborating closely with Integration Specialists and Systems Navigators. You will provide non-clinical assistance to families, helping them achieve their goals while enhancing their child’s ability to function effectively at home, school, and in the community. This is accomplished by educating parents about available resources and guiding them through problem-solving strategies.
