Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription: ** This position will commence in October 2024. Interviews and onboarding will proceed prior to this date. **


The Family Support Specialist (FSS) will provide intensive home visitation services to families with intensive needs in an effort to help them reduce stress factors (e.g., late or no prenatal care or poor compliance; abortion/adoption unsuccessfully sought or attempted during current pregnancy; single; inadequate income; unemployment problems; inadequate support system; unstable housing; no phone; education under 12 years; history of sexual abuse, substance abuse, psychiatric care, and/or abortions; marital or family problems; history of or current depression; Child Protective Services history/ever had child formally or informally removed from home) that could potentially lead to child abuse and neglect and to increase protective factors within the family in order to promote healthy childhood outcomes.


**40 hours / week. Most hours will be worked Monday - Friday 8am-5pm. Occasional evening and weekend hours may be required to accommodate the scheduling needs of families served and group events. **

Principal Duties and Responsibilities


Service Delivery

  • On a daily basis, the FSW will serve families struggling with issues such as the stress factors listed above including ongoing issues with depression, domestic violence, and mental health. The FSW will be responsible for learning and implementing program protocols and assessments such as the Parent Survey, Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Wellbeing Screener, Edinburgh Maternal Depression Scale, Domestic Violence Risk Assessment and Protocol, Suicide Protocol, Motivational Interviewing, Substance Abuse Protocol, and other informal assessments to determine family stability and to adjust the frequency of family visits accordingly.
  • The FSW will be on call to families they serve 24 hours a day/seven days a week. The average caseload will be 10 to 15 families depending on the severity of needs and length of time enrolled in services of the families the FSW serves.
  • The FSW will be responsible for initiating and maintaining regular and long-term contact/support with targeted families. Families will enroll sometime before the child turns 3 months old (preferably during pregnancy), continuing until the child is three to five years of age. This activity will occur primarily within the family’s home with the FSW visiting at least once weekly for at least one and a half hours on the most intensive service level for a minimum of 6 months and working through a gradually leaner schedule in subsequent years as families demonstrate readiness to advance through the program (i.e., elimination of presenting issues/stress factors, progress toward goal attainment, demonstration of effective problem solving and parenting skills, etc.). The intervention will be family-centered and strength-based and directed at establishing a trusting relationship; assisting in strengthening the parent-child relationship; assisting parents in improving their skills to optimize the home environment; improving the family support system; and increasing the family’s ability to problem solve and assume the role of advocate for themselves and their children.
  • The FSW will assist in the development and be responsible for implementation of the “HFA Service Plan” developed at the time of enrollment and for routine review of progress at a minimum of every 6 months on eliminating presenting issues.
  • The FSW will be responsible for educating parents about their child’s development, teaching them activities to facilitate their child’s development, engaging parents and their children in those activities in each visit, and for routinely assessing the normal growth and development of the identified child using a formal developmental screening tool.
  • On an on-going basis, the FSW will monitor to ensure that mothers receive regular prenatal care, that they attend their postpartum check-up in a timely manner, that they are consistently using an effective contraceptive, and to ensure that infants/children regularly attend well-checks and remain up-to-date on immunizations. When needed and as a last resort for meeting transportation needs, the FSW will provide transportation to ensure these needs are met. The FSW will provide information to parents on the benefits of delaying subsequent births to reduce stress potential in families.
  • The FSW with guidance from the Supervisor and/or Program Manager will serve as an informal, supportive “counselor” to the families served offering informal counseling on a variety of issues that arise in the families served. The FSW will back this up with referrals for formal counseling by trained professionals as needed.

Documentation

  • Assist parents in developing an Individual Family Support Plan within the first 45 days of service. The FSW will assist parents in updating the plan a minimum of every 6 months. On an on-going basis, the FSW will assist families in attaining their goals. Goals are individualized and based on families’ needs, desires, and dreams. Examples of family goals include meeting the family’s basic needs, keeping the baby healthy and on track developmentally, obtaining/maintaining stable employment and housing, continuing education, obtaining reliable transportation, etc. This plan will serve to inform the FSW of individual family’s specific needs for referrals to community supports as well (e.g., counseling, housing programs, educational program, medical providers, etc.).
  • Document all services, determine and document families’ compliance with service plans, and track outcome measures used to measure the program's effectiveness

Other

  • The FSW will attend training upon being hired and throughout employment, some of which will require travel and overnight stays, to develop professional skills. Additionally, the FSW will meet with the Supervisor minimally once weekly for case management and participate in bimonthly staff meetings.
