Family Worker - EHS - Children's Corner

University Settlement partners with 40,000+ New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn every year to build on our collective strengths as we achieve healthy, stable, and remarkable lives. For nearly 140 years, we’ve fought poverty and systemic inequality by building highly effective social services in collaboration with our neighbors. Established in 1886 as the first Settlement House in the United States, we bring the values of that movement into the 21st century by meeting New Yorkers where they live, listening deeply to all perspectives, and creating space for responsive cooperation.Joining with our neighbors to make stable foundations where people of all ages can grow and pursue their dreams, we build community strength. We infuse a commitment to civic engagement, equality, and communal action into each of our programs, which include early childhood education, youth development, healthy aging, mental health and wellness, English classes for adult immigrants, community centers, and the arts.Responsibilities:Outreach and Recruitment of ChildrenAssess needs of center-based families, facilitate referrals and follow-up of referralsDevelop and maintain linkage with community agenciesAccompany center-based parents to fair hearing and other related appointments as interpretersAssist with meetings, workshops/training and special eventsAssist with Policy Council parentsAssist with the implementation of the program evaluation processProvide support in implementation of parent volunteer programAttend meetings, workshops on and off siteParticipate in supplemental training as requiredWork with the parents of children with special needs, attend case conferences and do follow-upsMaintain confidential child files with complete and up to date data/ documentationComplete all written documentation in a timely mannerAssist in the classrooms when neededMaintain a small home visiting caseload of pregnant womenMaintain a small home visiting caseload of children birth to three years oldPerform general office dutiesPerform other duties as assigned by supervisorQualifications:Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education, Social Work, Human Development or related field with knowledge of child development (birth to three) requiredExperience working with children and familiesSpanish/English or Chinese/EnglishComputer SkillsWork Schedule: Full time, Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 4:00pm, 35 hours per weekWe are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community.
