Description

Do you want to make a positive difference in the lives of youth? If yes, join the great team of people at Koinonia Family Services in our post-adoption wraparound program, supporting families in the Temecula area. We are looking for a part-time Family Specialist to serve families who have adopted children/youth out of the foster care system and are experiencing challenges with the child's/youth's behavioral and mental health. The Family Specialist works directly with youth and families to model positive behavior and implement targeted behavioral interventions to enhance stability, safety, and well-being. This includes working directly in the family's home and community to provide support and interventions.

The Family Specialist opportunity includes:

• A great chance to support youth who have experienced trauma
• Starting hourly pay rate: $20.00 to $22.00 per hour, or higher with prior wraparound experience
• Benefits include paid time off (PTO)and participation in our 401k plan
• Paid holidays when your schedule is 15+ hours a week.
• Mileage reimbursement is included for business miles driven
• Enhance your knowledge and skills by working alongside a committed team of professionals to learn cutting-edge, evidence-based treatment modalities
• Work with a great team of people who care about each other and care about our mission to help youth and families find hope and healing

This is a part-time position. The schedule is about 15 hours per week, with some occasional evening and weekend hours. The opportunity for more hours may be available in the future as the number of families in the program increases.

Under the leadership of the Wraparound Program Supervisor, you will work with the Wraparound Facilitator and the Wraparound Parent Partner to provide direct services to youth and families. This includes:

• Work directly with youth and families in their home and community to develop positive relationships and implement the plan of care
• Model positive behavior and implement targeted behavioral interventions to promote stabilization in the home and community
• Provide skill-building interventions for the youth and family to improve their behavioral outcomes
• Participate in a family-centered, strength-based, culturally sensitive planning process for creating individualized plans of care
• Support youth to participate effectively in child and family team (CFT) meetings
• Implement strengths-based behavior plans with individualized strategies that include supportive linkage to the community and school
• Maintain case files for assigned youth and families
• Transport youth to appointments and community resources

We are seeking candidates with an associate’s degree in a behavioral science-related field (or substantial coursework completed toward an AA degree), and who have one year of experience working with high-risk youth (preferred). We will also consider candidates with "lived experience" with foster care and adoption.
