THE SELECTED CANDIDATE WILL BE OFFERED A SALARY BETWEEN $62,868 - $72,298.

The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports.

In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.

ACS’ Division of Child and Family Well-being (CFWB) designs and executes strategies to support caregivers, children, and communities, so they can thrive and enjoy self-determination. A critical piece of CFWB’s portfolio is the operation of the City’s subsidized child care voucher system -- one of the largest child care assistance programs in the country.

The Office of Child Care Operations (CCOPs) provides a range of resources to support access to childcare vouchers for eligible low-income families. These vouchers serve more than 35,000 families across New York City and are used at hundreds of community-based childcare programs and providers. CCOPs has multiple teams that support families applying for care and that provide technical assistance for childcare providers, these teams process hundreds of applications, and inquiries each week.

The Voucher Enrollment Unit (VEU) provides child care information, updates and assistance to support provider and program enrollment. The main task of VEU is to issue and enroll child care vouchers to low income families as well as to enroll, update and maintain providers and programs who are linked to these vouchers. VEU also collaborates with other entities such as ACS Child Care Eligibility to confirm eligibility status of child care cases and Human Resources Administration (HRA) Job Center Staff to enroll providers/programs who are caring for TANF children into the Automated Child Care Information System (ACCIS).
