Parent Partner - Wraparound-Bilingual Spanish

Requisition Number: 12393

Position Title: Parent Partner

External Description:

Parent Partner

 Have you successfully supported your child through an IEP, probation, mental health, or social services? Are you comfortable sharing your journey with others?  Are you at ease speaking and reading in both Spanish and English? As a Bilingual Parent Partner for Wraparound in Long Beach, California, you will use your empathy, respect, and listening skills to help parents become the best they can be. While you spend time providing hands-on peer support and helping families navigate community systems and resources, you will remember the impact you have on the entire family when the parents feel supported and loved. You will contribute to the growth of every member of the family and support them as they thrive in their independent, healthy lives.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY    

As a Bilingual English/Spanish Parent Partner for Wraparound in Long Beach, California, you’ll work as part of a team with a youth partner, family social workers, field-based clinicians, and program managers to round out the holistic care treatment for youth and families. You’ll be the parent’s advocate who will help families gain the skills and tools needed to be independent, confident parents.  This is a role where no one day is alike as no two parent’s needs are alike.  Some days you may be helping with budgeting or establishing house rules, while other days you may be providing support during court proceedings, IEP’s or family meetings. Your flexible schedule allows you to meet parents when they most need you, which may mean starting your day before their working hours and ending early, or starting your day later and meeting them during dinnertime. At times when you have resistant parents, you’ll use your relationship, shared life experience, and interpersonal skills to gain their engagement and commitment.

 

YOUR GROWTH

Aspiranet supports your success at each step. As a Bilingual English/Spanish Parent Partner, you could embark on a path of career and personal growth. With desire and commitment, you can gain additional skills and advance into a supervisory role.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

 

If you’ve had at least four years of real-life experience as a parent or primary caregiver and have successfully navigated mental health, probation, child welfare, special education or regional center services for your child, and have received your high school diploma or GED, we encourage you to apply. Bilingual English/Spanish is required for this position.
