Job Description
Are you passionate about helping families thrive? Do you believe in the power of connection, compassion, and community support? Waypoint is looking for a Kinship Navigator to be a steady and knowledgeable guide for kinship caregivers—those stepping up to raise their relatives’ children—on their journey to stability and success. We are open to 1 Full Time or (2) part time candidates to make this opportunity work.
About the Role:As a Kinship Navigator, you will be the vital link between kinship families and the resources that can change their lives. You’ll walk alongside caregivers—grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, and others—helping them access support through local agencies, community organizations, and government services.
From helping families understand their eligibility for state benefits to guiding them through the application process and connecting them with parenting support or trauma-informed services, your work will empower caregivers and strengthen family systems.
This role is part social worker, part advocate, and part navigator—someone who sees the big picture and helps families find the right path through it.
What You’ll Do:Provide one-on-one support to kinship caregivers, helping them identify and access services tailored to their unique needs.
Offer referrals and guidance for local, state, and community-based services including benefits applications, housing assistance, childcare, and educational support.
Connect families to parenting resources, support groups, and trauma-informed care as appropriate.
Help caregivers complete and track applications for state benefits and entitlements.
Conduct home visits when needed, meeting caregivers where they are—both literally and emotionally.
Work collaboratively with other agencies and programs to ensure families receive holistic, family-centered support.
Education: Bachelor’s or associate’s degree in social work or a related field. (Equivalent experience will be considered!)
Preferred experience:
Supporting kinship care families
Navigating resources and benefits
Home visiting or parenting education
Trauma-informed practices and ACES awareness
Additional Requirements:
Successful criminal background check
No history of abuse, neglect, or exploitation
Valid driver’s license and auto insurance with minimum liability coverage of $50,000/$100,000
At Waypoint, we don’t just talk about values—we live them. Here’s what we stand for:
Ask bold questions, bravely share feedback, and take thoughtful risks.
Assume best intentions and lead with compassion, even when learning from mistakes.
Stay flexible and accountable in the face of change.
Build strong, trusting relationships—collaboration and communication are everything.
Embrace a learning mindset; we’re always growing.
Co-create a welcoming, inclusive environment where every individual is valued—especially those from historically marginalized communities.
At Waypoint, you’ll be part of a mission-driven team that truly cares. You’ll receive strong supervision, generous professional development, and the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of families. Your voice, perspective, and passion matter here.
