Description
Do You have the heart to serve others and making a lifelong impact? Picture yourself at Gaudenzia as a Child Care Worker at our House of Healing Pregnant & Parenting Women's Program
We need hope-bringers and changemakers — because the work we all do matters. If you're passionate about making an impact with your time and being someone's light in the darkness, we want you on our team.
Come Join Us to Do Mission-Based, Meaningful Work
Who We Are
Gaudenzia is one of the largest nonprofit providers of treatment to people with substance use and co-occurring disorders in the nation. We operate in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
Our caring, compassionate team is on a mission to save thousands of lives each year and bring hope to people devastated by substance use disorder. Together, we help individuals, families, and communities heal and thrive in the face of one of the most devastating public health crises of our time.
As our organization grows and evolves to meet the needs of our clients and communities, we're seeking passionate, empathic individuals to help us make an impact. With your help, we can turn the tide on substance use disorder.
Who You Are
You are a Child Care Work who is passionate about helping individuals suffering from substance use disorders and/or mental health illnesses. Your responsibility will be to see that all the needs of the children in the facility are being met while the mother is involved in the various stages of treatment. These needs will include emotional and physical, and the approach is to be geared specifically to the individual child. The Child Care Worker assists the mother in gaining a greater understanding of the child, of childcare and development, and the relationship of mother and child. Duties may include, but are not limited to: being responsible for developing and implementing activities for those children who are too young to attend public school. You will be required to teach the child basic skills, how to care for him/herself, keep necessary records, participate in group counseling activities, work with community agencies and provide necessary support for mother and child in reference to parenting and education about child development. Work is performed in accordance with established regulations, policies and procedures, but the person is expected to exercise considerable initiative and independent judgment in achieving objectives. You will be required to pass all clearance checks as required by Act 33 of the Child Protection Services Law.
