Family Support Worker

Children’s Home Society of Florida

Help Families Build Stronger Foundations

As a Family Support Worker at CHS , you’ll work directly with children and families to provide practical support, education and guidance that can help strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.

From helping parents develop new skills to connecting families with resources, supporting visits and providing transportation, you’ll be there for the everyday moments that can help families move forward.

If you’re compassionate, dependable and passionate about helping families build brighter futures, this could be the opportunity for you.

What You’ll Do
  • Provide education, modeling and supportive services based on each family’s service plan.
  • Help families develop skills through parenting, independent living, household management and other educational opportunities.
  • Facilitate or co-facilitate educational classes and parent/child activities.
  • Supervise children during scheduled visits, in-home services and other assigned situations.
  • Conduct home or residential visits and maintain ongoing contact with families.
Connect Families to Resources
  • Assist Case Managers, Counselors and Social Workers with assessments, referrals and connections to community resources.
  • Provide or coordinate transportation for visitations, medical appointments, counseling and other services.
  • Help families stay connected to the services and support available to them.
Keep Services Moving Forward
  • Assist with assessments, goal planning, progress notes and other client documentation.
  • Enter information accurately and timely into required systems.
  • Participate in client staffing meetings as requested.
  • Monitor services and document family progress while maintaining confidentiality and professional boundaries.
What You’ll Bring
Required
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Two years of experience working with children and families.
Preferred
  • Previous experience working in a social-services organization.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You
  • Enjoy working directly with children and families.
  • Lead with compassion while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
  • Can establish trusting relationships with families from different backgrounds and experiences.
  • Are organized, dependable and comfortable balancing multiple priorities.
  • Work well independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Can remain professional and use sound judgment in challenging or sensitive situations.
  • Are comfortable traveling and making home visits.
  • Bring strong attention to detail and communication skills.
  • Are comfortable using Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.
Why Choose CHS?

At CHS, you’ll be part of work focused on helping children and families build stronger foundations and access the support they need to move forward.

  • Meaningful Work: Make a difference for children and families in your community.
  • Professional Growth: Build your knowledge and skills through training and development opportunities.
  • Collaborative Culture: Work alongside professionals committed to supporting children and strengthening families.
  • Great Benefits: Enjoy a benefits package that includes generous paid time off and holidays.
  • Mission With Purpose: Turn your compassion and experience into practical action that helps families create brighter futures.

Sometimes meaningful change starts with practical support: helping a parent build a new skill, connecting a family to a resource, or making sure a child and family can access the services they need.

Bring your compassion, resourcefulness and commitment to families to CHS , and help build stronger foundations for the future.
