Job Description This short-term, intensive intervention role focuses on expanding efforts to locate, notify, and engage safe, appropriate relatives and kin for youth entering foster care.

The Specialist immediately begins identifying and engaging non-offending parents and grandparents, followed by an extensive search to locate, contact, and explore up to 80 additional maternal and paternal relatives for potential placement and ongoing support.

Once a placement provider is identified-whether prior to the Protective Custody Hearing or later-the Specialist offers targeted support to promote placement stability.
