Position Overview:
In collaboration with San Diego County Child Welfare System’s commitment to reducing the disproportionality of African American/Black and immigrant/refugee families who are CWS involved, the Family Support Liaison Program (FSLP) aims to support parents and caregivers as they navigate the Child Welfare System (CWS). We help families to reunify with their child/ren, as well as to reduce future CWS involvement of families enrolled in the program.
The Family Support Specialist will play a critical role supporting families who are involved in Child Welfare Services (CWS or CPS). This position will work with CWS-involved families, who identify as African American/Black.
The Family Support Specialist is responsible for educating families about child welfare laws and policies as well as child safety and well-being; helping families build time management, communication, and financial management skills; supporting families in navigating CWS; and providing referrals to and care coordination with community supports. A team of Family Support Specialists will partner to build trust and engagement with each family and assist the family with identifying their support network through formal and informal supports.
This position may meet with clients in their homes, at a neutral location in the field, or at JFS or CWS offices. Family Support Specialists will provide care that is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, outcome-oriented, and time specific.

In this role, you have the opportunity to use your critical thinking skills and interpersonal experience to make a meaningful difference in our communities and help change lives across San Diego.
