Job description

KID Foster Care in Broward and Palm Beach Counties provides short- and long-term care to children that have entered the dependency system.

The foster parent(s) must provide for the physical, emotional, educational and social needs of the children until the biological family can be reunited or a permanent placement plan can be implemented. Must be able to parent up to seven (7) children from the child welfare system at one time.

Skills/ Requirements

  • Must have a high school diploma or GED and at least two (2) years of experience working with children and families in child welfare.
