Salary
$20 - $22 / HOUR
The Family Specialist works directly with youth and families in their home and community to model positive behavior and implement targeted behavioral interventions to enhance stability and well-being. This includes developing positive relationships, implementing individualized plans of care, and supporting youth participation in team meetings.
Candidates should ideally possess an associate’s degree in a behavioral science-related field or have substantial coursework completed toward one, along with one year of experience working with high-risk youth. Consideration will also be given to applicants with lived experience in foster care and adoption.
This is a part-time position. The schedule is about 15 hours per week at first, with more hours available as additional families are added to the program.
We are seeking candidates with an associate’s degree in a behavioral science-related field (or substantial coursework completed toward an AA degree), and who have one year of experience working with high-risk youth (preferred). We will also consider candidates with “lived experience” with foster care and adoption.
At Koinonia Family Services, we are committed to creating a supportive, mission-driven workplace where employees feel valued and connected to the work they do. In our recent employee climate survey, 98% of staff reported strong teamwork with their coworkers, and 97% said their supervisors treat them with respect. Employees also reported a strong connection to our mission and a clear understanding of how their work contributes to helping children and families.
Our staff consistently report that they are treated with dignity and respect and feel supported by their teams and supervisors. As a trauma-informed organization, we emphasize collaboration, professional support, and a person-centered approach to care. If you are looking for meaningful work with a team that cares deeply about each other and the youth and families we serve, we invite you to join us in bringing hope and healing to children, youth and families.
As a licensed facility under Community Care Licensing, we are required to have applicants complete the California Live Scan process for a criminal history review. This process includes checks by the California Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Child Abuse Central Index. For positions in San Diego County, we consider qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records for employment in accordance with the San Diego County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers and the California Fair Chance Act. In addition to criminal history, we review various aspects of an applicant's background, including but not limited to education, employment history, motor vehicle or driving history, reference checks, license or credential verification, and medical examinations.
This position requires a valid driver’s license, auto insurance and reliable transportation as driving is an essential job function. Family Specialists are responsible for tasks such as visiting client homes, transporting youth, engaging with community partners, often in locations not easily accessible by alternative transportation methods. The nature of these responsibilities necessitates the ability to drive to ensure timely, reliable, confidential and effective support for the youth and families we serve. Koinonia Family Services is an equal-opportunity employer.
