Position Summary:
CHRIS 180 Migrant Wellness Program provides 24-hour care for unaccompanied children (UC) under the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) who are placed in residential care as they prepare for sponsorship. The program provides stabilization, behavioral support, comprehensive case management, educational services, daily living skills acquisition, recreational and therapeutic activities, and coordination of care. The Migrant Wellness Program provides a family-involved, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to care within residential communities throughout the Atlanta area.
Being a House Parent is more of a mission/calling than your occupation. This is a 24-hour-a-day responsibility, just like being a parent to your children. Your schedule would be two weeks on and two weeks off. You must have an innate concern for the safety and well-being of children and youth. You do not choose the children who will be placed in the home, so a good understanding of cultural differences and trauma-informed care is important. You will be a paid staff member of CHRIS 180 as a foster parent receiving a salary living in one of our Migrant Wellness fully furnished homes.
This is a year-round position. While living in the home you are provided with a rent-free private bedroom, bathroom, living area, and a vehicle to use. All utilities are provided, and meals are included with the residents living in the home during your weeks on-site. Recreational activities involved with the residents during your schedule are also paid for through household funds.
The House Parent functions as the live-in therapeutic foster parent to the UC who immigrated to the United States primarily from Spanish speaking countries. The foster children living in the home maintain trauma histories, complex behavioral health needs, and may have experienced abuse and neglect. This position is responsible for creating a healthy, positive, long-term family living environment for up to four children in the home to prepare for reunification or transition to permanent foster care settings. Under the supervision and direction of the Program Manager, the House Parent is responsible for all of the day-to-day operations of running the home such as overseeing financial operations of the residential setting; assuring the home meets all regulatory standards; overall cleanliness of the home; coordination of home/youth activities and services provided; supervision of youth at all times; overall record keeping required for the home; communications from/to the office, youth and outside service providers, etc.
