About the role

Ulster County Community Action Committee seeks a Family Worker to deliver services and advocacy for Head Start families, aligning with Performance Standards and our Head Start Plan. You will support family engagement, school readiness goals, and full enrollment. You will conduct recruitment and enrollment, set goals with families, perform home visits, and coordinate workshops, committees, and referrals. Daily GoEngage documentation is required, with some evening commitments.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
