Highfields' mission is to provide opportunities to children, youth and families to become more responsible for their own lives and to strengthen their relationships with others. Our vision is to create bright futures for children, their families and communities. We would love for you to join our team in making a difference as a Family Counselor in our Families Together Building Solutions (FTBS) Program. Services are provided to families in Branch County.
Highfields is a diverse and equal opportunity employer and offers opportunities to grow and advance. If you are motivated, have self-awareness, can model effective communication, can explain how to resolve issues, are able to empathize, have sound judgement, break down emotional issues into parts to find solutions, and are able to work well with a diverse population and develop rapport with clients, we encourage you to apply.
As a FTBS Family Counselor you would help families create solutions to prevent out-of-home placement for their children. You would meet with the family in their home for at least three hours a week at times convenient for them. There is no need to be in the office to complete documentation.
