There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
At the Virginia Department of Social Services, we put people at the center of everything we do. We believe that every Virginian can live a life of dignity and that all voices, ideas, and experiences contribute greatly to our pursuit of excellence. Inspired by continuous improvement, we commit ourselves to listening, learning, and cultivating environments of trust, respect, and positive engagement. Together, we are mission-driven, eager to achieve, and passionate about bringing the best of who we are to those we serve. We design and deliver high-quality human services that help Virginians achieve safety, independence, and overall well-being. We are a $2 billion agency - one of the largest in the Commonwealth of Virginia - partnering with 120 local departments of social services and 31 community action agencies, along with faith-based and non-profit organizations, to promote the well-being of children, adults, and families statewide. We proudly serve alongside 1,650 (state) and 12,200 (local) human services professionals throughout the Social Services System, who ensure that thousands of Virginia's most vulnerable citizens have easy access to the services and benefits available to them. The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) engages families for success. Its Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) manages nearly 251,000 cases to ensure that child support payments of $590 million per year reach families across the Commonwealth. Support Enforcement Specialists establish and sustain helping relationships with parents who have payment obligations as well as parents who depend on those payments. Virginia's children need both financial and family support to grow and thrive. Children with actively involved parents perform better in school, have high self-confidence, and generally achieve greater success in life. DCSE's mission is to promote strong, self-reliant families by delivering child support enforcement services, as provided by law, through the location of noncustodial parents, establishment of orders, enforcement of orders, collection of child support, and distribution of child support. The position will serve as a principal program expert focusing on increasing safety measures for survivors of domestic violence who are seeking child support and the intersection of domestic violence, economic justice, trauma-informed care, and the integration of lived experience. This position also serves as support for all training-related activities that result from the Safe Access for Victims' Economic Security grant and will co-develop training materials with subject matter experts and deliver materials in both physical and virtual environments and will provide direct support to the Home Office and Field Operations.
