Bilingual Family Engagement Specialist (Social Worker)

Your Next Client Could Be an Entire Family.

Families & Communities Rising, Inc. (FCR) | Durham & Orange Counties, NC

Change a child's future by strengthening a family today.

If you became a social worker to make a lasting difference—not just manage paperwork—we invite you to join Families & Communities Rising (FCR).

As a Family Engagement Specialist, you'll partner with approximately 35 families to help them overcome barriers, build resilience, and create pathways toward long-term stability and school readiness. Every day, you'll advocate for children, connect families with life-changing resources, provide crisis support, and help parents become their child's first and most influential teacher.

This is more than case management. It's relationship-building, advocacy, and community impact.

What You'll Do

• Build meaningful partnerships with children and families through strengths-based case management.
• Connect families to housing, healthcare, employment, mental health, educational, and community resources.
• Support families during times of crisis while celebrating their successes.
• Conduct home visits and meet families where they are—both literally and figuratively.
• Collaborate with educators, healthcare providers, and community agencies to improve outcomes for children.
• Empower parents through coaching, education, workshops, and family goal planning.
• Help children arrive at school healthy, supported, and ready to learn.

We're Looking For

You may be the right fit if you have:

• Bachelor's degree in Social Work (BSW) or a related Human Services field.
• Experience working with children, families, or vulnerable populations.
• Strong case management and relationship-building skills.
• A trauma-informed, strengths-based approach.
• Passion for equity, family empowerment, and community collaboration.
• Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus.
