  • Serve as a liaison between families, providers, schools, and support systems

  • Track and document progress toward health, social needs, and wellness goals

  • Coordinate transitional care from Emergency Room/Inpatient Admissions to ensure safe discharge to the community

  • Advocate for children’s needs while empowering families

  • Attend regular supervisory and case conference sessions, trainings and other meetings, as assigned.

👤 Who You Are:

  • Passionate about child welfare, behavioral health, and equity in healthcare

  • Skilled in communication, cultural sensitivity, and problem-solving

  • Organized, proactive, and able to work independently and collaboratively

  • Comfortable navigating Brooklyn/Queens neighborhoods for field visits

✅ Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in social work, psychology, sociology, education, nursing, public health, or a related field

  • At least 2 years of relevant experience working with children/families

  • Knowledge of Medicaid, Public Assistance, SNAP, and other and community-based services a plus

  • Valid NYS Driver’s License or reliable transportation for community visits

💙 Why Join Us?
