About The Position

Join a compassionate, mission-driven team where you can make a direct and lasting impact on children and families in your community. As a Family Support Specialist, you’ll build meaningful, long-term relationships, empower families through education and skill-building, and play a critical role in strengthening family stability and child development outcomes. This role offers the opportunity to work independently in the field while being supported by a collaborative team, gain hands-on experience in home-based services and case management, and grow your career in behavioral health and family services. This position offers a competitive hourly pay range of $17.00 – $18.77, based on post-bachelor’s degree experience. If you are empathetic, flexible, and passionate about helping families thrive, this is the perfect role for you. In this role, you will not work from a traditional office.
