Description

Are you the Case Manager we have been looking for? Do you feel strongly about support the family dynamic to provide stability and growth for all families? 

If yes, then we are looking for you at JRI!! In this position you will be able to convey your passion for helping others by working with our youth! 

Program: 

The Young Parent Support program is a grant funded by the Department of Children and Families that supports young parents up to the age of 23.  This program is free and voluntary to all participants who meet the sole eligibility criteria of age of parent.  

The goal of this program is to support young parents as they develop self-sufficiency skills necessary for adult life, while they are also navigating the developmental needs of their infants and young children.  This program nurtures the inherent strengths that the young parent already possesses while supporting them through a social network system that can be confusing and overwhelming.  The Young Parent Support Program (YPS) believes that all parents want the best for their children; however, many of our young parents have encountered obstacles and stressors that may impact their parenting skills.  The Young Parent Support program works with many community agencies as we seek to support the unique needs of every individual.  

What would you do? 

The YPS Case Management position follows a home-visiting model primarily.  The Case Manager has weekly/bi-weekly visits with their families, of a caseload not to exceed 15 families.  Case Managers are also required to engage in community outreach.  In addition to Case Management duties, we also offer groups that support the needs of our families.  These groups include parenting skills groups, financial literacy, and new mother’s groups, to name a few.    

You will be supported by weekly supervision with your supervisor, and regular team meetings with colleagues in your program. An intensive training period exists to orient you to both the agency’s culture and policies. You will receive training to help you develop and grow your knowledge of infant and child development, parent-child interactions as well as build your skills in assessing family needs, conducting child development screens, identifying safety risks and developing goal plans with families.
