posted 4 months ago
If you thrive in a non-profit organization where what you do makes a difference in the lives of others, then Catholic Charities is the place for you! With a refreshing culture that is supportive, collaborative, and encouraging of diverse perspectives and backgrounds, why not join the Catholic Charities team? The Provider Coordinator is principally responsible for managing and coordinating all activities relating to family childcare educators by the Family Childcare (FCC) System. This role is essential in ensuring that family childcare homes comply with licensing regulations and best practices in early childhood education. The Provider Coordinator will monitor family childcare homes for compliance with licensing regulations and assess the quality of services provided in each family childcare home for adherence to contractual obligations with both the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) and Catholic Charities Boston (CCAB). This includes completing home studies and all necessary paperwork and record keeping required by regulatory agencies. The Coordinator will work closely with FCC educators to develop and implement appropriate behavior management techniques and other activities to support individual children's service plans and goals. In addition, the Provider Coordinator will facilitate substitute child placements when necessary, which may require work from home. The role also involves case management duties such as child intakes and assessments, child placement in appropriate family childcare homes, maintenance of required client paperwork and documentation, and referral to services that support the needs of children and families. Collaboration with other community agencies, attendance at case conferences and evaluations, and completion of required written reports of monthly visit forms are also key responsibilities. The Provider Coordinator will support educators' professional development, including providing technical assistance to achieve family childcare accreditation and/or CDA, which may require leading groups that meet in the evening. The role requires working collaboratively with other unit members, sharing job responsibilities in their absence, and following through with all Agency directives and assigned tasks in a professional and positive manner. The Coordinator will model the CCAB mission statement to "respect the dignity of all people" and maintain the highest standard of ethical conduct and professional responsibility, including maintaining confidentiality to children, families, colleagues, the Agency, and the community. The work is performed in an office setting, requiring long periods of sitting and traveling to educators' homes, agencies, and meetings, along with other duties as assigned.
