Family Time network visitation supervisors will need at least 30 hours of training before providing any supervision, to help children and families who have experienced trauma of all kinds. We expect all of our visit supervisors to be dedicated to reunification of families as well as helping to create permanency for the children and families that they serve.
Pay
Visitation Supervisors/ Transporters will be paid for time with the child. This includes transportation, not miles. Starting rate is $14-18 per hour.
Starting documentation
FPAWS FTN works as a coordination platform to connect families and organizations with independent visit supervisors, offering support to all parties involved. As independent professionals providing a service to families and children who are undergoing enormous stress, we do require a lot of documentation from our supervisors – all the documents listed below are required before we can schedule any visit time. If you are looking for more information or would like to support families caring for foster children please contact us at [email protected].
