Job description
Brightpoint invites you to join our team of mission-driven staff who share a common vision: an equitable world where all children and families thrive in strong communities. As a leader in the human services sector for 140 years, we aim to advance the well-being of children by investing in families and strengthening communities through data-informed, collaborative, and preventative solutions.
The Foster Care Supervisor is a critical member of both the region's child welfare team, as well as the agency's broader leadership team, working collaboratively within and across programs to ensure a relentless focus on keeping children safe and supporting families, consistent with our agency's Blueprint for Impact, which includes replacing what we currently think of as child welfare services with what we know to be child, family, and community well-being solutions. Our Foster Care Programs work collaboratively with families who have an indicated report of abuse or neglect to work towards a safe reunification or an alternative permanency plan to ensure the wellbeing of every child. As the Program Supervisor, you will provide reflective supervision to Foster Care Specialists, Advanced Specialists and Lead Specialists, and be a vocal advocate for continuous program evaluation and improvement, all with the goal of helping children and families thrive. As a supervisor you will also provide support and back-up to members of your team when needed and collaborate with internal and external partners, including child welfare, clinical staff and the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).

- Master's Degree in Social Work or a closely related field required.
- At least two years' social services experience required (child welfare experience highly desirable).
- Ability to speak English and Spanish required.
- Child Welfare Employee License (CWEL), Child Endangerment Risk Assessment Protocol (CERAP), and Child Abuse and Neglect (CANS) certification required, or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire.
- Ability to attend in-person meetings and events as needed required.
- Valid driver's license, insurance, and a reliable vehicle required.
What You'll Do:
- Plan and conduct regular staff meetings.
- Provide individual case consultation and supervision to staff.
- Provide back up and coverage for team members, as required by program.
- Responsible for monitoring and implementing the program's continuous quality improvement process including outcome measures, assessments and funding reports.
- Participate in an on-call rotation, as required by program.
- Develops methods to enhance the quality of services and improve the ability of the programs to identify and address specific individual training and consultation needs.
