Job Description:
Have you successfully supported your child through an IEP,
probation, mental health, or social services? Are you comfortable
sharing your journey with others? As a Parent Partner for
Wraparound in Bakersfield, California, you will use your empathy,
respect, and listening skills to help parents become the best they
can be. While you spend time providing hands-on peer support and
helping families navigate community systems and resources, you will
remember the impact you have on the entire family when the parents
feel supported and loved. You will contribute to the growth of
every member of the family and support them as they thrive in their
independent, healthy lives. YOUR OPPORTUNITY As a Parent Partner in
Bakersfield, California, you'll work as part of a team with youth
partners, family social workers, field-based clinicians, and
program managers to round out the holistic care treatment for youth
and families. You'll be the parent's advocate who will help
families gain the skills and tools needed to be independent,
confident parents. This is a role where no one day is alike as no
two parent's needs are alike. Some days you may be helping with
budgeting or establishing house rules, while other days you may be
providing support during court proceedings, IEPs or family
meetings. Your flexible schedule allows you to meet parents when
they most need you, which may mean starting your day before their
working hours and ending early or starting your day later and
meeting them during dinnertime. At times when you have resistant
parents, you'll use your relationship, shared life experience, and
interpersonal skills to gain their engagement and commitment. YOUR
QUALIFICATIONS If you've had at least four years of real-life
experience as a parent or primary caregiver and have successfully
navigated mental health, probation, child welfare, special
education or regional center services for your child, and have
received your high school diploma or GED, we encourage you to
apply. YOUR GROWTH Aspiranet supports your success at each step. As
a Parent Partner, you could embark on a path of career and personal
growth. With desire and commitment, you can gain additional skills
and grow within the agency. - YOUR REWARDS Aspiranet offers a
competitive salary, an exceptional team-based environment, and a
great benefits package that includes employer-paid healthcare,
dental, vision and wellness care. Aspiranet provides the
opportunity to make an important difference in your community. OUR
MISSION Aspiranet is a one-of-a-kind social service agency
dedicated to building a world where all children and youth are
loved and cared for, and all families have the resources to thrive.
Founded in 1975, our core mission is to help California kids and
families. Aspiranet's services include foster care and adoption
family support, residential care, support for youth making the
transition from foster care to adulthood, mental and behavioral
health services, intensive home-based care, and community-based
family resources. We provide services throughout California. Aspira
means hope. We are a network of people bringing hope forward. We
look forward to learning what makes you passionate.
