Responsibilities


This position is responsible for providing kinship focused services that ensures safe and stable placements for children and youth through locating families, certifying homes and/or stepping them down from congregate care settings.

The Kinship Explorer Navigator will assist the Philadelphia Department of Human Services (DHS) in identifying appropriate kinship options in situations where a child has the potential to be removed or is in the process of an emergency removal.

The Kinship Explorer Navigator will be responsible for identifying and engaging a robust network of kinship supports for youth entering out-of-home placement, placed in foster care, or stepping down from congregate care settings.


Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Collaboratively work with DHS (CRU, Hotline, Intake, and Ongoing Service Region) and with CUA Case Management teams to help identify all prospective kinship resources. Strong applicants will be those that incorporate new and innovative methods that align with best practices for identifying and engaging kinship resources.
  • Collect and verify all information needed to begin the process of certification (i.e., Childline/Criminal clearances).
  • Conduct home assessments to ensure the home is appropriate per DPW/ASCI requirements.
  • Connect with youth entering outofhome placement for the first time so that youth are initially placed and remain with kin until reunification is appropriate.

Strong applicants will be those that propose evidenceinformed, theorydriven strategies to broaden and strengthen informal supportive networks for children and youth, beyond the identification of a single placement resource.
  • Contribute to Family Engagement Initiative (FEI) meetings to continue to gather additional information for kinship exploration. Strong applicants will be those that possess a robust understanding of FEI and seek to leverage existing FEI practices and processes to support the identification and engagement of kin.
  • Assess for kinship caregiver needs and provide ongoing support and resource connections for kinship caregivers to promote safe, stable homes for children to thrive. Strong applicants will be those who propose best practices to supporting kin caregivers.
  • Track all homes that are certified and not certified within the 60 day required timeframe.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Registered and insured vehicle
  • Certificate of Insurance for vehicle
  • Valid Pennsylvania Driver's License
