We are looking for a Child Safety Specialist who will strengthen the capacity of CASA of Travis County to monitor the safety of children living in institutional congregate care (e.g. residential treatment centers (RTCs) and shelters).
CASA of Travis County believes every child who's experienced abuse or neglect deserves to have a dedicated advocate speaking up for their best interest in court, at school, and in our community. To accomplish this, the team at CASA educates and empowers diverse community volunteers who ensure each child's needs remain a priority in an overburdened child welfare system. Through inclusive, honorable and respectful involvement with families, courts and all parties, CASA makes independent and educated recommendations that prioritize children’s safety and, wherever possible, preserve connections to their families.
As a Child Safety Specialist, you will supports the advocacy team by visiting shelters and RTCs where children to whom CASA is appointed are placed to assess common safety risks for children living there. At the direction of and in collaboration with the Director of Quality and Safety and the Program Management Team, the Child Safety Specialist will analyze and discern any concerning trends at and across shelters and RTCs and make recommendations about addressing these risks.
At the end of your first year, success would mean you have a complete list of congregate care facilities where children served by CASA of Travis County are placed, that includes observations, strengths, and concerns. This will allow informed recommendations to be made about placement for these children.
The Child Safety Specialist is a critical role to move CASA of Travis County towards meeting our vision of providing a volunteer advocate, safe home and promising future for every child in Travis County who needs us.
