Job description

FamilyAid is Greater Boston’s leading provider of solutions to family homelessness. Our mission is to empower parents and caregivers facing homelessness to secure and sustain housing and build strong foundations for their children’s futures.

We prevent homelessness whenever possible; reduce harm if homelessness can’t be avoided by getting families stably housed as quickly as possible and mitigating trauma, especially for children; and provide wraparound supports for children and parents that foster long-term stability.

Our approach works: Families in our care make significant progress towards self-sufficiency within seven months, 64% of whom are rehoused within one year with a 99% retention rate, far outperforming national averages. Most importantly, our parents report that their children are healthier and happier.

We have quadrupled in size in the last five years and remain on an exciting growth trajectory to serve more than 5,000 children and parents this year. We have launched bold new strategies to reduce two-generation homelessness by deepening and increasing our prevention, housing, and supportive services for children and parents. Significant new funding powers our strategic vision of serving more families through a deepened 2 Generation approach that reduces homelessness' cause, scope, and impact.

To support these strategies, the agency seeks a dynamic and driven Supervisor.

Reporting to the Program Manager, Prevention and Diversion, the Supervisor will provide program leadership and supervision to a team of case managers whose primary focus will be to provide two generation stabilization services to families experiencing housing instability.

The Supervisor will coordinate work across partners, often through case managers, to align individual components, minimize burden on families and maximize the effectiveness of the interventions.

In addition to leading, hiring, supervising, developing, and evaluating staff, the Supervisor will work with the Program Manager and other program leadership to ensure implementation of agency and program policies and practices to ensure the provision of high-quality services to our client families and children.

The successful candidate will have a BSW degree. MSW is preferred. At least one year of experience in supervising, managing and leading teams or in a leadership role. 3+ years’ professional experience working in a social service setting. Familiarity working in a clinical setting.

Demonstrable ability to effectively manage time and competing priorities and demonstrated success in applying evidence-based practices including Trauma-Informed Care, critical time intervention and motivational interviewing. Ability to work in both office and field-based settings with a diverse, homeless population.

Our supportive, collaborative, and diverse workplace of more than 120 professionals is ideal for a skilled, result-oriented, driven professional, to help children and families thrive. To learn more about our work, please visit https://familyaidboston.org
