THE POSITION
Do you believe that: Children do best when raised in families within their communities? Everyone has the capacity to succeed in a system that is family-focused, child-centered, and community-based? The best outcomes are achieved through a team approach with shared responsibilities for children, families, and communities? Each family is unique and must be given the opportunity to have their voices heard? How we do our work is as important as the work we do? A motivated, highly skilled, well-trained, and supportive workforce encourages positive familial outcomes? A diverse workforce is strengthened by inclusivity efforts? If you do, then we need you to bring your talents to our team to lift these shared values and strengthen each child and family, our communities, and our generation.
