About The Position

Within SWORPS, the Tennessee Child Support Employment and Parenting Program (TCSEPP) Regional Coordinator builds a strong evidence-informed and trauma-informed practice that assists, supports, and advocates for non-custodial parents involved with the child support system. The Regional Coordinator, based in Middle Tennessee, assists non-custodial parents with overcoming barriers to employment in order to become stable, obtain employment, pay child support, become self-sufficient, and be an active parent in their child(ren)’s lives. The Regional Coordinator works with non-custodial parents to promote trust and communication between them and the systems with which they interact, as well as, when possible and appropriate, with the children and custodial parents. The Regional Coordinator also weaves together a supportive network of formal and informal community-based resources for non-custodial parents and provides outreach and education to non-custodial parents and the community-at-large. This position reports to a TCSEPP Manager and is responsible for providing coverage and program continuity in counties where a TCSEPP Coordinator is temporarily unavailable (e.g., due to leave or vacancy). The Regional Coordinator will cover assigned counties within their region as needed in support of TCSEPP operations. This is a grant-funded position and is contingent upon the continued funding of the grant.
