Job Description
The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of New York City's children and families by providing child welfare, juvenile justice, and early care services. In child welfare, ACS contracts with private nonprofit organizations to support and stabilize families through community-based programming and preventive services and provides foster care services for children not able to safely remain at home. Each year, the agency's Division of Child Protection responds to more than 50,000 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. In juvenile justice, ACS manages and funds services including detention and placement, intensive community-based alternatives for youth, and support services for families. ACS is also a key part of NYC's early childhood and education continuum, providing childcare assistance to thousands of child welfare involved and low-income children so they can access safe, affordable, quality care.
ACS is seeking an exceptional candidate to join our team as the Deputy Commissioner of the Division of Preventive Services, the branch of ACS that provides family services, therapeutic treatment, home care and other support to New York City's families through a network of community-based nonprofit organizations. These services are designed to stabilize and strengthen families, prevent the need for foster care, expedite permanency and prevent the replacement of children into foster care.
- Reporting directly to the ACS Commissioner and serving as a member of the ACS Executive Team, the Deputy Commissioner of the Division of Preventive Services is responsible for the direction, administration, and effective functioning of the division's wide range of programs and initiatives. Specific responsibilities include:
- Develop and implement a clear and flexible vision for the future of Child Welfare Prevention Services in New York City that includes supporting and strengthening families, keeping children safe, reducing unnecessary child welfare investigations, and reducing the need for children to enter foster care placement.
- Convene and listen to key stakeholders, especially families, to inform the development of programs, practices, and policies.
- Support Provider Agency partners to build and deepen community connections to best serve families and reduce unnecessary further system involvement.
- Develop and implement approaches that support Provider Agency effectiveness and health., including advocacy for maximum federal and state dollars for prevention funding.
- Work closely with other ACS Divisions and Offices to implement key initiatives related to ACS's Strategic Priorities, including the new School-Based Early Support programs.
- Partner with other key systems and agencies (NYC Public Schools, Department of Social Services, Health and Hospitals, Health and Mental Hygiene and others) to develop and sustain swift access to family services and supports including pathways that do not require a child protective investigation.
- Create and sustain effective processes to deploy help to families, which they identify as helpful.
- Effectively use data to track the utilization of services across New York City and by service type; manage the capacity of our preventive system in accordance with utilization and need for services.
- Manage critical cross-divisional project areas to improve outcomes for the children and families ACS serves.
- Ensure that program areas within the Division of Preventive Services are sufficiently staffed, equipped, trained and capable of carrying out responsibilities, and that the professional development of staff throughout the division is prioritized.
