Job Description
Job DescriptionParent Advocate
$39k to $40k
Join a Team Where your Work Truly Makes a Difference.
At CMCS (Cardinal McCloskey Community Services), our mission is to protect, empower and promote independence for at-risk children and families and those with developmental disabilities through quality community-based services.
As a Parent Advocates, you will support parents with children in foster care to understand and navigate the foster care system, remain hopeful, and address family challenges so that they can accomplish their goal of reunification. Many families with children in foster care have experienced oppression, intergenerational poverty and trauma that contribute to the challenges they face and impact the way they participate in the case planning process. Parent Advocates help to empower parents in the case planning process and provide options and choices for parents to make decisions for their families.
The focus of this job is building connections with parents and working collaboratively with case planners. Each Parent Advocate will be assigned to a case planning unit and will support parents and bring their insights to the foster care agency decision-making process so that children are more likely to quickly and safely return home.
All Advocates will receive training and support through Rise, a parent-led NYC advocacy organization. The training will focus on restorative justice, healing and self-care, building knowledge of child welfare policy and practice, building relationships for support and mentorship with other advocates, and creating an ongoing support and advocacy network.
Requirements:
Additional Requirements
CMCS offers excellent benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement plan, generous paid time off, flexible work schedules.
