Job description

NYU GROSSMAN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE is one of the nation's top-ranked medical schools. For 175 years, NYU Grossman School of Medicine has trained thousands of physicians and scientists who have helped to shape the course of medical history and enrich the lives of countless people. An integral part of NYU Langone Health, the Grossman School of Medicine at its core is committed to improving the human condition through medical education, scientific research, and direct patient care.

POSITION SUMMARY:

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Family Outreach Coordinator. The Family Outreach Coordinator will serve as a Family Connector Coach, playing a critical role in implementing the Family Connectors program, a part of an NIMH-funded study on enhancing family engagement in services for adolescents or young adults who have experienced first-episode psychosis. A Family Connector (FC) is a peer-parent or family member who supports other parents or caregivers raising or having raised a child with emotional or behavioral challenges. FCs provide instructional, informational, emotional, and advocacy support peer to peer or caregiver to caregiver and are trained to follow the Family Connectors program. We are looking for a professional with training in the broadly defined children's mental health field and experience working with families to work part-time and provide support to FCs. The FC Coach conducts weekly guidance and support meetings to guide the FCs and ensure that they adhere to the program model. Each FC Coach will supervise 2 to 3 FCs. The FC Coach will require about 20 hours each week. This grant-funded position is expected to start January 2022 and conclude April 2023.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Conduct efficient and effective weekly FC team meetings, ensuring program requirements are monitored.
2. Ensure adherence to the program model, familiarizing with the theoretical foundation and monitoring mechanisms.
3. Provide support to the FCs, facilitating a positive dynamic in the group and affirming their work.
4. Ensure FCs observe appropriate boundaries with their families, reminding them of their role in generating solutions.
5. Provide back-up should a crisis arise, being familiar with the crisis procedure provided during FC training.

ADDITIONAL POSITION SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES:

Traits of an Effective FC Coach include experience working with the same families and agencies, familiarity with the target population, experience with children who have emotional challenges, experience training adults, and good organizational skills.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Graduate-level training in a social service field emphasizing clinical work (e.g., psychology, counseling, social work) or supervisory experience in the social service field. Experience or familiarity with peer or family support services, excellent organizational skills, and respect for the expertise of parents in raising their children. A clear understanding of the Parent Connector model and its implementation, PEP credential qualifications, and familiarity with the On Track New York program is beneficial.

Qualified candidates must be able to effectively communicate with all levels of the organization.
