What are some typical challenges faced by professionals in Family Reunification roles, and how can applicants prepare to overcome them?

Professionals in Family Reunification often encounter challenges such as navigating complex legal and immigration systems, managing high caseloads, and supporting families during emotionally charged situations. Effective communication, empathy, and adaptability are crucial for success in this field. Applicants can prepare by familiarizing themselves with relevant laws and regulations, developing strong organizational skills, and seeking out training in trauma-informed care or conflict resolution to better support clients through difficult transitions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Family Reunification Specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Family Reunification Specialist, you need a background in social work, psychology, or a related field, often supported by a relevant degree and experience with case management. Familiarity with case management software, documentation systems, and child welfare regulations is typically required. Outstanding interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and strong problem-solving abilities help build trust and navigate complex family dynamics. These competencies are crucial for ensuring safe, timely, and supportive reunification processes that prioritize the well-being of children and families.

Family Reunification specialists focus on helping families reunite through legal and social support, often working with vulnerable populations. Immigration Case Workers handle a broader range of immigration cases, including visas and legal documentation, with a focus on processing and compliance. While both roles involve immigration, Family Reunification is more centered on family-based cases, whereas Immigration Case Workers manage various immigration processes.

What is family reunification?

Family reunification is a process that allows family members who have been separated by borders, conflict, or migration to be brought back together, typically through legal immigration channels. This process is commonly used by immigrants and refugees who want to join close relatives, such as spouses, children, or parents, in another country. The requirements and procedures for family reunification vary by country and can involve applications, documentation, and sometimes interviews to prove the familial relationship. The primary goal is to preserve the family unit and promote social integration. Family reunification can also play a significant role in the well-being and stability of individuals affected by displacement.

Job description

When families are working to rebuild trust and move toward reunification, the social worker matters. CCP is hiring a Family Reunification Social Worker in the New Haven region for an MSW-trained professional who wants direct family work, strong supervision, and room to grow into the next stage of practice.

This is a full-time role for someone earlier in career, or still building depth after graduate school, who wants work that is both demanding and worthwhile. You will support children and families in reunification and therapeutic family time services while building the skills that make LMSW progression in Connecticut more realistic and better supported.

Why You'll Love Working Here

This role offers substance early. You will work directly with children and families participating in reunification and therapeutic family time services, not from a distance and not in a narrow administrative seat. The work is mission-driven, but it is also structured: you will be supported by clinical supervision, mentorship, and a team culture that values intention, accountability, and steady development.

CCP also backs growth with concrete support. For team members who do not already hold an LMSW, CCP offers a $1,500 Educational Award Bonus upon completion and certification of the LMSW. You will also have access to leadership development opportunities, Lunch & Learn sessions with internal and external experts, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Taken together, this role is a strong fit for an MSW professional who wants to build skill, credibility, and licensure momentum without losing sight of mission impact.

What You'll Do

Support reunification and therapeutic family time work

  • You will carry a caseload of children and families participating in reunification services and therapeutic family time programming.
  • You will complete assessments related to safety, strengths, service needs, and reunification goals within required timelines.
  • You will develop, implement, and update individualized service plans with children, caregivers, and partner providers.
  • You will support and facilitate supervised visitations as needed, while helping maintain a safe and age-appropriate environment.
  • You will provide parenting support and practical guidance that helps families move toward stronger engagement and greater stability.

Coordinate care and keep work moving

  • You will coordinate regularly with DCF, courts, schools, and collateral providers and attend family or team meetings as needed.
  • You will complete timely case notes, progress reports, data entry, and related documentation with accuracy and follow-through.
  • You will provide transportation, crisis support, and office- or community-based service delivery as assigned.
  • You will participate consistently in clinical supervision, mentorship, training, and quality improvement activities.

What You'll Bring To The Table

Required

  • Master of Social Work (MSW) required.
  • Valid Connecticut driver's license, reliable personal transportation during working hours, and ability to pass required background checks.
  • Ability to complete documentation accurately, maintain confidentiality, and work effectively across multiple service systems.
  • Professional judgment, sound boundaries, and a family-centered approach to practice.
  • Availability to work a 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. schedule with flexibility based on service needs in office and community environments.

Preferred

  • Early-career experience working with children and families in child welfare, family support, supervised visitation, or related direct-service settings.
  • Familiarity with DCF-involved families, reunification services, or visitation coaching models.
  • Training or experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and culturally responsive practice.
  • Interest in using this role as a serious development step toward LMSW progression in Connecticut.

Compensation: $50,000 - $60,000 annually.

For team members who do not already hold an LMSW, CCP offers a $1,500 Educational Award Bonus upon completion and certification of the LMSW.

Children's Community Programs is a nonprofit organization and does not offer visa sponsorship or relocation assistance. Candidates relocating independently are welcome to apply. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
