    Add Your Voice - Work For Us

    We use our voice, and empower you to use yours, to create positive, lasting change in people's lives. We use our voice because we believe every person should belong and be empowered to thrive.

    Who We Are

    Our agency began in 1999 by pioneering a model that is nationally recognized. We believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing permanent home - with a caring and supportive family that makes it possible to grow and thrive.

    A pioneer in new approaches to achieving permanency for children in foster care, we employ specialized knowledge and a continuum of services to help agencies expedite adoptions and keep families together.

    Additionally, with our partner Diakon, we co-administer the Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network (SWAN) program for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.

    SWAN Legal Services Initiative Paralegals

    Voce employs paralegals to perform work for the SWAN Legal Services Initiative (LSI), a program that was created to address barriers within the legal process that delay permanency for a child in the child welfare system. LSI paralegals work out of every county's children and youth office. LSI paralegals assist counties with all aspects of the legal process which ensures children are in safe and permanent homes.

    Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm

    • Draft legal documents for solicitor review, including petitions, orders, motions and stipulations
    • Participate in county court hearings and pre-hearing conferences
    • Assist with all aspects of lay and expert witness preparation for testimony
    • Facilitate and/or train on approved LSI training topics
    • Support county best practices
    • Conduct diligent searches to locate parents, relatives or other potential permanency resources or connections for children who are receiving services from, or are in the custody of the county and collaborate with caseworkers regarding all search results

    What It Will Take To Succeed

    General knowledge/work experience in legal or in child welfare and an Associate's degree, Bachelor's degree or paralegal certificate is preferred. A minimum of 5 years of related experience will be considered in lieu of degree and/or certification.

    We strive to hire motivated professionals with strong organizational and time management skills who will thrive in a dynamic and collaborative work environment.
