About the role

SAFY of America is seeking a Full Time Engagement & Licensing Specialist in the Birmingham division, Alabama. You will recruit, license, engage and retain foster parents, coordinating pre-service training and the licensure process, while collaborating with community partners and staff. The role requires a bachelor's in social work or a related field, plus relevant experience and strong communication skills; state regulations and SAFY policies guide the process.

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.
