PROGRAM SUPERVISOR ANOTHER ROAD TO SAFETY PROGRAM –OAKLAND / HAYWARD

Role :

Reporting to the Director of Social Services Programs, the Program Supervisor will be the direct supervisor to a team of Parent Partners and Family Support Specialist. Supervision will be accomplished through weekly group and / or individual supervision, crisis management, and providing other supportive services to staff. Supervisors may accompany staff on home visits to assist with assessments and family engagement.

This is a unique position directly supervising up to 6 staff. ARS Parent Partners are an incredible group of parents who have experienced the Alameda County Child Welfare System as clients and now have returned to provide community resource linkages to families in need of stabilization. ARS Family Support Specialist provides support to parents experiencing difficult life situations and / or parenting challenges as they connect parents to community resources and help re-stabilize the family. The Program Supervisor also helps to ensure that culturally sensitive and family friendly engagement practices permeate throughout the program. ARS Program Supervisors have the privilege of supporting staff as they go through incredible personal and professional growth. Program Supervisors collaborate with staff to assess strengths and build professional skills to ensure ARS is providing high quality services to families within Alameda County. ARS Program Supervisors work closely with the Director of Social Services Programs and are deeply involved in program development and training for all staff.

Essential to this position is a very strong commitment to :

• Supporting Family Voice and Parent Partnership
• Collaboration with Child Welfare
• Cultural humility and inclusivity
• Solid management practices
• Professional growth

This position is perfect for a peer professional, case manager, or clinician with strong management experience, who is ready to step into a supervisor role. While it does represent a step away from direct service, the program’s deep commitment to work-force development and support calls on many of the same skills that are required of a peer professional, case manager, or clinician serving our families.
