Parent Coach Counselor, full time
About The Position
Anu Family Services’ Parent Coaches help caregivers build confidence in their parenting skills while strengthening the loving connections with their children. Most clients are referred through county programs such as Comprehensive Community Services, Children’s Long-Term Support Waiver, or the child welfare system. Parent Coaches guide caregivers in meeting their child’s emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. Anu is seeking individuals passionate about helping families thrive to join the Parent Coaching team, serving Eau Claire, Chippewa, Barron, and nearby counties. This position may be full-time or part-time, depending on the candidate’s preference. Part-time staff have the option to increase hours over time based on their interest, availability, and program needs. Anu offers a supportive work environment with competitive benefits, a flexible schedule with some evening hours, a home-office base, and ongoing opportunities for professional development. With this position, there is also an opportunity to earn 3,000 supervised hours toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Professionals hired for this position receive paid training through the online Parenting Coach Certification course. Parent Coaches utilize Present Moment Parenting, helping parents focus on the whole child in the present rather than solely on behavior modification. Parent Coaching is a strengths-based intervention that equips biological, foster, adoptive, and kinship parents with practical tools to quickly and effectively strengthen relationships with their children and promote positive behavioral change.
