Full Job Description

Are you a natural connector who loves meeting new people and inspiring them to make a difference? Do you want a career that gets you out into the community, building meaningful relationships, and creating real change for kids and families?

As a Foster Parent Home Finder, you’ll play a vital role in our mission by finding and supporting families who are ready to open their homes and hearts to children in foster care. You’ll be part Home Finder, part guide, and part cheerleader—helping families navigate the process, celebrating their progress, and ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.

This is not a desk job. You’ll be out in the community, spreading awareness, networking with organizations, attending events, and bringing energy and creativity to recruitment efforts. Every connection you make has the potential to change a child’s life.

What You’ll Do

Walk families through the certification process with compassion and clarity.
Conduct home visits and safety assessments, ensuring every home meets state standards while also helping families feel confident and supported.

Completes initial certification assessment and annual reassessment of foster families in accordance with New York State regulations including the preparation of home studies; monitors homes to ensure they meet Agency and New York State regulations. Completes emergency certifications for identified kinship resources
Stay connected with foster parents after certification to build lasting relationships and ensure ongoing engagement.

Behind-the-Scenes Impact

Keep accurate records and documentation (we know it’s not the most exciting part of the job—but it’s an important one!).
Operates multiple software systems in documenting and driving program/agency required outcomes. This includes maintaining all case records and required documentation per agency standards.
Track progress, identify opportunities for growth, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
