Description

Description This position is a part of our Caregiver Support Program which now covers multiple service areas. This posting is for our Pacific Mountain area which encompasses Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston Counties. Youthnet is a nonprofit agency committed to serving children, youth, and families in Western Washington. Our programs focus on supporting youth and families involved with, or at-risk of involvement in, our state foster care system. We are working together to create opportunities for healing from the past and promoting hope for the future. Youthnet is proud to serve children, youth, and families in 16 counties across Washington State. As our organization continues to grow, we are currently seeking an experienced and mission-driven Caregiver Support Manager Supervisor to join our team.

Due to the unique qualities of the region, the Caregiver Support Manager Supervisor will maintain a hybrid case load which may include both traditional foster care case managers and Support Managers of our Caregiver Support Program.
