You will utilize your professional expertise and lived experiences to guide and connect members and caregivers with those who can provide insight and expertise to assist in overcoming challenges.

How you will make an impact:

•Support care managers as they advocate for foster parents and other caregivers, addressing their needs or challenges with various agencies and systems.

•Coordinate services and appointments, such as wellness reminders and arranging transportation.

•Assist the care manager in assessing and addressing unmet health-related need.

Minimum requirements:
