Chicago, United States Saint Anthony Hospital Full time

**Position Description**:
**Program Support Worker**

**Background**:
The Family Connects model was developed within the context of the Durham Family Initiative, funded by the Duke Endowment in 2002, with the primary goal of reducing community rates of child maltreatment (K. Dodge, Principle Investigator). The program centers on a theory-driven and evidence-based assessment of child and family strengths and needs, provided in an informal and family-friendly manner. As a community-based program, Family Connects supports new parents in caring for their newborn(s), offers physical assessments of the mother and the baby, addresses questions about caring for the newborn(s), identifies parents’ needs, and helps to identify community services or resources that can meet those needs. In addition, through this connection to resources, Family Connects helps to identify gaps in critical community-wide resources with the goal of working toward increasing needed services locally.

The Family Connects Program Support Worker works with a team of nurses to assist in coordinating Family Connects cases for Saint Anthony Hospital, including scheduling home visits for families in the birth hospital, making phone calls to schedule families missed during the hospital visits, scheduling and coordinating visits and assignments for the nurses, fielding our public information lines to answer questions and reschedule parents, and conduct post visit follow-up phone calls with each family for the purpose of monitoring customer satisfaction and tracking referral outcomes. PSWs will work in English and Spanish.

**Essential Job Functions**:

- Coordinate scheduling of all nurse assignments and manage schedule and client database.
- Assist with in-hospital recruiting as needed:
