    Volunteers of America of North Louisiana 3.1company rating

    Family support specialist job in Shreveport, LA

    The Care Coordinator partners with a Mental Health and Developmental Clinician to support families referred to Child First. The Care Coordinator works collaboratively with the family to connect the child and family with desired, community-based services and supports while maintaining Child First's reflective, relationship-based stance. The Care Coordinator also enhances caregiver executive functioning skills (e.g., planning, organizing, managing time, focusing attention, regulating emotions, reflecting on progress) and engages the caregiver-child dyad in activities to strengthen the relationship. Through their work with families, the Care Coordinator both decreases the “toxic” stress in the home environment and enhances opportunities for optimal child development, thereby promoting healthy brain development for infants and young children. The best candidate for this position is highly organized, self-motivated, reliable, and flexible (including willingness to work non-traditional hours, including at least one evening) with an openness to learning, capacity for self-reflection, eagerness to participate in reflective clinical supervision and desire to be part of a team. JOB DUTIES/ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: Provide community resource expertise to Child First team and families, including identifying and collaborating with community-based service providers and supports. Engage with the Child First family and the Clinician in the collaborative family assessment process (i.e., use data from interviews, observations, interactions, and standardized measures to identify family strengths, needs, and challenges). Promote family stabilization by working collaboratively with family to identify and support needs (both urgent and long-term), integrating service needs into the Child and Family Plan of Care, and addressing barriers to services as they arise. Enhance caregiver executive functioning skills (e.g., planning, organizing, managing time, focusing attention, regulating emotions, reflecting on progress) as needed and in consultation with the Clinician and Clinical Supervisor. Maintain a reflective stance when engaging with the caregiver to understand their motivation, needs, and possible barriers to new services and supports. Use videotaping to enhance both therapeutic work with families and reflective supervision. Provide the family with interactive, growth-promoting play experiences. Engage in weekly individual, team, and group reflective clinical supervision with Clinical Supervisor. Engage actively in all aspects of the Child First Learning Collaborative, including in-person or live-remote training, distance learning curriculum, and specialty training. Track completion of all assessments and enter in the appropriate database. Keep all appropriate documentation for clinical accountability and reimbursement.
