Job DescriptionJob Description

This position offers a $2,000 sign on bonus 60 days after hire. If you leave Bridges Homeward within 12 months of your hire date, you will be required to pay back the full sign on bonus.

A great, entry level position to make a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities

Recognizing the value in self care and proper work- life balance Bridges Homeward operates on a 33.5 hour, 4 1/2 day work week

The Family Support Specialist is a member of Bridges Homeward's Developmental Disabilities Program team, and assists families, children, youth and adult family members referred by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) in developing life skills, setting and achieving goals, assisting in accessing resources needed to obtain goals, and engaging in activities in the community. Basic Spanish speaking capacity preferred.

 HOW YOU WILL BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE:

  • Coordinate and schedule parent/caregiver trainings
  • Collaborate with other Bridges Homeward staff in developing and coordinating family activities and programs for individuals with developmental disabilities, and their families
  • Advocate effectively for our client living with developmental disabilities, and families
  • Facilitate communication with the client's collaterals, including DDS, school, medical and in-home providers and therapists
  • Provide strength-based support by partnering with families to understand and meet their needs.
  • Assess client and family needs through referrals from DDS
  • Assist family in managing funds allocated by DDS
  • Responsible for drafting bi-monthly newsletter to families

The Agency: Founded in 1873, Bridges Homeward has evolved over time into a group of dynamic, highly dedicated, mission driven professionals meeting the current needs of the Greater Boston community. Bridges Homeward is committed to strengthening and advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion, for our staff and those we serve.  We are seeking staff that align with our commitment, as individuals and as a community, to continually seek to advance racial equity initiatives to address long-standing systemic racial biases and discrimination in our society. Our goal for every person we work with is for them to find permanency; a healthy, nurturing relationship with an adult that they can count on for the rest of their life. Sometimes, permanency in our work means making sure a child can remain with their biological family; sometimes it means ensuring someone with a developmental disability can live with family instead of having to move to an institutional setting; sometimes it means finding a child in foster care a forever family and for other youth it means having a safe, secure parenting relationship with a supportive adult.
