Full Job Description

Join Our Team: Caregiver Advisor in Champaign County

Effective Date: Immediately

Before you scroll by: If you’re thinking that this job post isn’t for you because it’s senior services and your social service experience is with kids, please keep reading! This job listing might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Your Crucial Role in Caring for the Carers: Helping Ease the Stress of Day-to-Day Caregiving

Unpaid caregivers have a remarkable place in our country. It is estimated that up to 85% of caregiving services are provided by unpaid caregivers, and one-quarter of the households in Illinois have a member who is looking after an older adult in some capacity.

Caring for an older adult is one side of the caregiving spectrum; the other comprises adults 55+ who are raising their grandchildren. Though the two caregiving scenarios look different, they share themes of concern, stress, and the need for resources and self-care.

To respond to the needs of unpaid caregivers and grandparents raising grandchildren, the State of Illinois offers a Caregiver Advisory service. The Caregiver Advisory helps caregivers and grandparents raising grandchildren build knowledge and skills, navigate services, access resources, and reduce caregiver stress.

Our Caregiver Advisor offers that support and guidance to caregivers of older adults residing in Champaign & Piatt Counties.

Your Role as the Caregiver Advisor

As our Caregiver Advisor in Champaign & Piatt Counties, you’ll be a key member of our Senior Resource Center staff. You’ll enjoy variety and opportunities for creativity in this role. This means you’ll be:

Making contacts in Champaign & Piatt Counties with other organizations who work with caregivers or grandparents raising grandchildren to build a robust referral network.
Finding ways to connect with potential clients (e.g., social media, in-person events).
Providing clients with access to information and assistance about a wide variety of services available to them.
Giving instruction and training, both in a classroom / workshop setting and through personalized in-home meetings, so the client has the skills they need to do the best job they can.
Develop and implement support groups for both caregivers and grandparents raising grandchildren. (You’ll get plenty of training.)
Working with grandparents raising grandchildren on solutions to challenges specific to their situation. They often have questions about navigating the school system, dealing with technology at school and at home (Chromebooks, video games), and handling behavior issues and children’s grief and frustration.
Being a listening ear and reliable support person who checks in on the client, gets to know them, follows up, and lets them know in word and action that they are not alone on their caregiving journey.

You’ll get all the tools you’ll need to be a fantastic Caregiver Advisor in your training, and your coworkers in the Senior Resource Center will provide robust support.

Who You Are: The Ideal Candidate

In our ideal world, our Caregiver Advisor will have knowledge or experience in children’s services. A background in elementary or high school education, CASA, DCFS, or similar would go a long way in this position. A willingness to learn about social services for children for our grandparents raising grandchildren works, too.

If you are the ideal candidate, you have at least a bachelor’s degree in social work or a related field. High school graduates with at least 5 years of relevant experience with the aging or youth population are encouraged to apply, as well.

You’ll have the following abilities:

Cordial and friendly with clients, maintaining professionalism and kindness at all times
Understanding of casework & how to properly document with case notes
Organized and efficient with minimum supervision
Respectful of various lifestyles, cultures, temperaments, and needs
Reliable transportation, ability to meet clients in their homes, at school, or in a public third place.
Can pass a background check: Any individual who is the subject of a pending investigation by the Department of Children and Family Services for child abuse or neglect, or who has been the subject of an indicated abuse or neglect report, which indicated report has not subsequently been overturned on an appeal, is not eligible for employment in the Counseling service.

The Family Service Culture

Family Service has a culture that is reflected in our name: We are both family-focused (both the families we serve and the families we are from), and we pride ourselves on being strongly service oriented.  We are cultivating a workplace that is humble and diligent – a place where you can enjoy your coworkers, be proud of your impact, and always look for new and better ways to enhance our community by meeting its needs.  We train our people thoroughly and consider ourselves a training ground for being the best humanity has to offer.   If you are looking for a position in an organization that values kindness, fresh ideas, hard work, and going the extra mile to help our clients and our community, Family Service might be the place for you.  (Of course, we’re an Equal Opportunity Employer.)

The Package

$20.00 – $23.00; commensurate with experience

This is a full-time position where you’ll work 37.5 hours per week. 12 paid holidays, and vacation accrual after 90 days (capped at 200 hours)

If we’re describing you, let’s talk. Send us your resumé and cover letter.    [email protected]

Pay: $20.00 - $23.00 per hour
