GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

As a Family Discovery Specialist, you’ll take on an exciting and challenging role as a dedicated “social services support specialist,” focused on uncovering and strengthening family and supportive connections for youth in congregate care. While social services workers manage day-to-day needs, your mission is clear—lead the Discovery and Engagement process to find meaningful connections and open doors to permanency.

In this role, you’ll use curiosity, persistence, and strong investigative skills to identify relatives and supportive individuals, break down barriers, and help ensure every child has the opportunity to return to their community and connect with people they know and trust.

You’ll be part of a passionate team tackling one of the most important and complex challenges in child welfare: ensuring no child remains in a group setting without a path to family connection. This is a powerful opportunity to make a lasting impact—changing the trajectory of a child’s life by helping them find belonging, stability, and support.

The Wyoming Department of Family Services’ work centers around three values

Safe at home;
Giving families opportunities for success; and
Supporting the people who support the families.

Join the DFS family and support Wyoming families!
