Some cases require transportation of children, while others involve only supervised visitation. Certain visits are staffed by two Parent Aides due to the complexity of the case.

About the Position

Willow Branch is seeking compassionate, professional, and dependable Parent Aides to provide services for families involved with the Missouri Department of Social Services, Children's Division.

This is not simply a supervised visitation position. Parent Aides play an important role in supporting child safety, strengthening parenting skills, and helping families work toward reunification.

Successful Parent Aides build professional relationships with parents while maintaining appropriate boundaries, remaining objective, and carefully observing parent-child interactions. They provide coaching during visits, model healthy parenting techniques, and document observations that become part of the family's service record.

This position requires maturity, sound judgment, professionalism, and the ability to remain calm in emotionally challenging situations.

Responsibilities

Supervise parent-child visits while ensuring child safety at all times.
Observe, document, and objectively report parent-child interactions.
Coach parents using evidence-based parenting practices and child development principles.
Model age-appropriate parenting, communication, and behavior management strategies.
Assist parents in developing nurturing relationships with their children.
Provide support during emotionally difficult or crisis situations while maintaining professional boundaries.
Transport children to and from visits when assigned.
Communicate effectively with case managers, therapists, foster parents, and Children's Division staff.
Complete documentation accurately and within required deadlines.
Maintain confidentiality and comply with all agency and state requirements.
Participate in ongoing training and professional development.

We Are Looking For Someone Who

Is dependable, punctual, and highly organized.
Can work independently with minimal supervision.
Maintains professionalism in emotionally charged situations.
Is comfortable giving constructive coaching while building rapport.
Can objectively observe behavior without making assumptions or taking sides.
Has excellent written documentation skills.
Understands the importance of child safety and professional ethics.
Demonstrates patience, empathy, and emotional maturity.
Is flexible and willing to travel within assigned service areas.

Preferred Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent (required)
Education or experience in:
Child Development
Psychology
Social Work
Counseling
Education
Family Studies
Early Childhood
Human Services
Experience working with children and families
Knowledge of child welfare or Children's Division services preferred
Experience with crisis intervention, conflict resolution, or behavioral support is a plus
Strong verbal and written communication skills
Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance

Class E Driver's License will be required for positions involving child transportation.

What Makes Someone Successful?

Successful Parent Aides are people who can:

Build trust while maintaining professional boundaries.
Stay calm when others are upset.
Notice small details others might miss.
Think critically and make sound decisions.
Treat every family with dignity and respect.
Balance compassion with accountability.
Work independently while following agency expectations.

This position is ideal for individuals considering careers in social work, counseling, psychology, education, or child welfare, as well as experienced professionals who are passionate about strengthening families.

Why Join Willow Branch?

Flexible scheduling
Meaningful work that directly impacts children and families
Ongoing training and professional development
Supportive team environment
Opportunities for growth as new cases become available each week

Job Type: Part-Time

Pay: $17.00–$22.00 per service hour
