Foster Care Case Manager/Resource Specialist

Be the Person Who Helps a Child Finally Feel Safe

Some careers change lives from a distance. This one changes them face-to-face.

For more than 130 years, Monroe Harding has stood beside children and young adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, and trauma. Every child deserves someone who refuses to give up on them—and every foster family deserves someone in their corner.

As a Full-Time Resource Specialist, you'll serve as the primary advocate for children in foster care while partnering closely with foster parents, birth families, schools, therapists, courts, and community providers. You'll help children navigate challenging seasons while ensuring they have the support, stability, and services they need to heal and thrive.

This isn't a desk job. You'll build relationships, solve problems, coordinate services, attend court hearings, visit foster homes, and celebrate the milestones that help children move beyond trauma toward hope.

• Advocate for children through assessments, treatment planning, home visits, and crisis support.
• Support foster families through coaching, consultation, and annual home re-approvals.
• Coordinate care with schools, therapists, birth families, DCS, courts, and community partners.
• Maintain timely documentation and regulatory compliance.
• Participate in Child & Family Team meetings and ongoing professional development.
