Supervised Visitation Specialist (PRN)

At Family & Children’s Place, our mission is to protect, nurture, and support children and families to build stronger, safer communities. We envision a future with safe children, supported families, and strong communities.

Family & Children’s Place is seeking a Supervised Visitation Specialist (PRN) to support children and families involved in the foster care system. This role coordinates and facilitates court-ordered supervised visits between children and their parents or caregivers, ensuring a safe, structured, and supportive environment.

This position works closely with the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) and directly with children, birth parents, foster parents, and caregivers. The Specialist observes interactions, documents visits, and provides coaching and feedback to support positive parenting practices and promote successful family reunification.

This is a non-therapeutic role focused on supervision, safety, documentation, and skill-building—not counseling or clinical treatment.

• Observe, document, and report on parent-child interactions in a clear and timely manner
• Provide coaching and model appropriate parenting techniques during visits

• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries while building supportive relationships with families

• Associate’s degree in child development, education, social sciences, or a related field
• Minimum of 2 years’ experience working with children and families in a human services setting
• Experience working with trauma-impacted populations preferred
• Understanding of child development and family dynamics, particularly within the foster care system
• Strong observation, communication, and documentation skills
• Ability to remain calm, professional, and objective in high-stress situations
• Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends as needed
• Ability to work in home-based settings, including high-risk communities

• Must be at least 18 years of age
• Must have reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license
• Must pass a background check and maintain an acceptable driving record

• Work may take place in office settings, community locations, and client homes
• Ability to lift up to 40 pounds (including children and car seats)
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, and actively engage during visits

We are seeking individuals who are:

• Observant, dependable, and emotionally mature
• Supportive and respectful of diverse backgrounds and experiences
• Skilled at maintaining professional boundaries
• Committed to supporting children and families in a safe, structured environment

At FCP, you’ll be part of a mission-driven organization making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families. We provide ongoing training, a supportive team environment, and the opportunity to contribute to safer, stronger communities.
