About the role
We're seeking a compassionate, organized, and relationship-focused professional with experience working with children and families. The ideal candidate is comfortable conducting home visits, facilitating training, managing detailed documentation, and working independently in a field-based environment. The Resource Development Specialist guides prospective foster, kinship, and adoptive families through the licensing process. This role facilitates pre-service training, conducts home study and renewal assessments, and ensures compliance with Missouri licensing requirements. The position is primarily field-based and involves home visits, interviews, documentation, and regular travel throughout the service area. The ideal candidate is organized, relationship-focused, and passionate about helping children and families.
Responsibilities
- Facilitate pre-service training
- Conduct home visits and interviews
- Complete home study assessments and review required documentation
- Build strong relationships with families while ensuring compliance with Missouri licensing requirements
- Occasional evening or weekend training sessions
But we also have "Success in this role requires strong communication, organization, assessment, and documentation skills, along with a passion for helping families provide safe and supportive homes for children." That could be under Skills.
We also have "Work Schedule" details.
Now Requirements: Education, credentials, experience, certifications, licenses.
We need to list them as - .
Let's extract:
- Bachelor's degree in social work, Human Services, Psychology, Child Development, or a closely related behavioral science field from an accredited institution.
- Minimum of 2 years of experience working directly with children and families in child welfare, foster care, social services, or a closely related field.
- Preferred Master's degree in social work or a related field.
- Prior experience facilitating MO C.A.R.E., TIPS-MAPP, or comparable state-required pre-service foster parent training curriculum.
- Prior experience completing foster care or adoption home study assessments.
- Experience working in Southwest Missouri or familiarity with the child welfare landscape in the Joplin, Nevada, or Kansas City service areas.
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) strongly preferred given the demographics of the southwest Missouri service region.
- Current, valid Missouri driver's license with an acceptable driving record; reliable personal transportation required for field travel throughout the service area.
- MO C.A.R.E. Trainer Certification (required; if not held at hire, must be obtained within 90 days) (the text cut off but we assume within 90 days).
- All required background checks — state and federal fingerprint-based criminal history, Missouri CANTS child abuse and neglect registry — must be completed and cleared before any client-facing activity.
We need to preserve all details exactly as given. The phrase "MO C.A.R.E. Trainer Certification (required; if not held at hire, must be obtained within 90" incomplete; but we must keep as is.
Now Skills: maybe list communication, organization, assessment, documentation, relationship-focused, etc. Could be derived from description. But we need to not invent. The posting says: "Success in this role requires strong communication, organization, assessment, and documentation skills, along with a passion for helping families provide safe and supportive homes for children." Also earlier: "The ideal candidate is comfortable conducting home visits, facilitating training, managing detailed documentation, and working independently in a field-based environment." Also "organized, relationship-focused". So we can list skills as bullet list.
Benefits: Mileage reimbursement is provided in accordance with agency policy.
Pay: Average hourly rate for this position $18.69.
Schedule: Standard Schedule of Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with flexibility required for occasional evening and Saturday training sessions. The role is primarily field-based and includes regular travel to family homes, training locations, community sites, and DSS offices throughout the assigned service area. Mileage reimbursement is provided in accordance with agency policy. This position does not require on-call coverage or after-hours crisis response responsibilities.
Note mileage reimbursement appears also in Benefits; but we can keep it in Schedule as it's part of schedule description. However we should not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in original? It appears twice: once under Work Schedule and also maybe under Benefits? Actually mileage reimbursement appears only under Work Schedule. So we can include it there.
We also have Physical Demands & Work Environment section. That could be under maybe "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Could be under "Requirements"? Not exactly. Could be under "Qualifications"? Might be better to create a section "Working Conditions" but not allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, but we should prefer those. It also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate physical demands into Requirements or Qualifications? Might be better to add a section "Working Conditions" but not in list; risk of being considered not preferred. Safer to incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications as part of job requirements. However the instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow the examples. I'd incorporate physical demands under "Requirements" as they are job requirements.
Thus Requirements will include education, experience, certifications, licenses, physical demands.
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All sections have content.
