Job description
Overview
nOur Commitment to EquityThe Y actively promotes a culture free from bias and injustice. We are dedicated to removing institutional and systemic barriers that result in oppression and racism. We will be accountable to marginalized communities for creating equitable and sustainable environments where social justice is woven into every facet of our programs, and by caring for our communities in a culturally versatile and respectful manner.
nJob Summary
nThe WISe (Wraparound with Intensive Services) Care Coordinator is responsible for leading the youth and family teams through the wraparound process. The care coordinator uses strong leadership skills to organize, develop and facilitate wraparound family team meetings, and is responsible for leading the team through the phases of WISe. The WISe care coordinator will work with youth and families with complex needs involved in multiple systems (criminal justice, mental health, foster care, substance use, etc.) In addition, the WISe care coordinator is responsible for developing and implementing individualized family care plans and expanding the involvement of natural team members and systems. This sometimes entails assuming a case management function, accessing formal resources, coordinating care, responding to crises, serving as an advocate, and providing documentation. The WISe care coordinator reports to the WISe Program Director.
nThis position is with the Y Social Impact Center, the social services division of the YMCA of Greater Seattle (YGS), serving around 5,000 youth, young adults, and families every year in communities across King County, Pierce County, and various counties across WA. Through our programs we aim to strengthen young people’s ability to develop to their fullest potential through four strategies: reducing risk factors; navigating systems towards successful life transition; establishing stability, safety and wellness in times of crisis; and building competencies and social capital. The Social Impact Center’s programs include homelessness prevention, housing, behavioral health, crisis response, foster care licensing, violence prevention, and employment. Since many of the young people we serve have been involved in the foster care, criminal justice, behavioral health, and/or homelessness systems, we truly value relatable lived experience of our staff and those applying for our positions as an asset.
