We have partnerships with doctors who specialize in this field as well as with several companies across the tri-state area (museums / video production companies / semi-conductor manufacturers). This is also a great networking opportunity for you / your career (meet the people at companies and the doctors we work with). We have placed clients at the Guggenheim Museum, Red Room Photo Lab, The Children's Village (Dobbs Ferry), and the McBurney YMCA (Manhattan).  We have been in business for over a decade.  We are an innovative / growing company based in CT (with presence on both coasts). The job will start with 1 session per week and can grow after that.

CBC includes many of the services that Child Protective Services (CPS) normally provides. This includes foster care, case management, kinship, and reunification services. A single contractor in each designated community area creates a network of services, foster homes, and other living arrangements and, when ready, provides case management for each child and their family as well. CPS works with each contractor (Single Source Continuum Contractor or SSCC) to carefully manage the transition from traditional foster care to community-driven care. Full implementation of CBC is projected for the year 2029 across the state of Texas. With open proposal options, any given community or regional area may be selected for CBC transition. This position along with your job duties and function will shift form a state position with Texas Department of Family Protective Services to the SSCC, which is a private and non-profit agency serving the same foster care population. After the transition, your office location is subject to change within your same county which is expected to occur before 2029.
