Job description

Description
Your Next Client Could Be an Entire Family.
Families & Communities Rising, Inc. (FCR) | Durham & Orange Counties, NC
Change a child's future by strengthening a family today.
If you became a social worker to make a lasting difference-not just manage paperwork-we invite you to join Families & Communities Rising (FCR).
As a Family Engagement Specialist, you'll partner with approximately 35 families to help them overcome barriers, build resilience, and create pathways toward long-term stability and school readiness. Every day, you'll advocate for children, connect families with life-changing resources, provide crisis support, and help parents become their child's first and most influential teacher.
This is more than case management. It's relationship-building, advocacy, and community impact.
What You'll Do
  • Build meaningful partnerships with children and families through strengths-based case management.
  • Connect families to housing, healthcare, employment, mental health, educational, and community resources.
  • Support families during times of crisis while celebrating their successes.
  • Conduct home visits and meet families where they are-both literally and figuratively.
  • Collaborate with educators, healthcare providers, and community agencies to improve outcomes for children.
  • Empower parents through coaching, education, workshops, and family goal planning.
  • Help children arrive at school healthy, supported, and ready to learn.

Requirements
We're Looking For
You may be the right fit if you have:
  • Bachelor's degree in Social Work (BSW) or a related Human Services field.
  • Experience working with children, families, or vulnerable populations.
  • Strong case management and relationship-building skills.
  • A trauma-informed, strengths-based approach.
  • Passion for equity, family empowerment, and community collaboration.
  • Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus.
