Commitment to high-risk adolescents, challenged with some very tough issues, is not easy and the reality is that most problems surface after hours.

Work hours at Wood’s Homes are typically round-the-clock and the type of work we do requires quick thinking, confidence, forgiveness and persistence.
We are currently seeking a full-time Family Support Associate for our Supported Visits and Transportation Services Program. This program provides safe and timely transportation to children and families, leaving the children with appropriate caregivers. Verbal reports may be necessary. The successful candidate will be available for a Tuesday – Saturday schedule.
The Family Support Associate is primarily responsible for family support services, such as visit supervision as assigned, to identified children/youth and families in a safe, non-judgmental, and professional manner. This position reports to the Team Leader of the Transportation Program.
