Requisition #: req13058
Location: Jenkintown, PA
Hours: Part-time (24-hours/week)
Bethany is changing the world through family. We began our work by serving one child more than 75 years ago. Today, Bethany is an international Christian nonprofit partnering with communities in more than 30 states and in several countries around the world. We strengthen and preserve families, support displaced people fleeing danger, and find safe, loving families for children who need them. Bethany is at the forefront of creating and implementing solutions to meet the growing needs of vulnerable children and families in the U.S. and around the world.
As a Kinship Support Specialist, you will be primarily responsible for assisting and promoting a “kin first” culture and practices that prioritizes supporting kin caregivers. You will provide kinship caregivers with information, education, and referrals to a wide range of services and supports. Your main goal is to maximize Bethany kinship caregivers’ ability to provide safe, stable placement and, if needed, permanency for children placed in their home. You must have knowledge of the child welfare system, court proceedings and foster care licensing process.
This position is expected to function effectively with moderate supervision while following the guidelines given on procedures, along with agency, federal, and state regulatory requirements.
