Early Childhood Educator for Human Services Organization - PathWays of the River Valley : Job Details

PathWays has been providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in Sullivan and Lower Grafton Counties in NH for over 50 years and we provide services starting at age 0 through adulthood. Our Family-Centered Early Support and Services (FCESS) group focuses on little ones from 0 to 3 years of age. Because we are a human services organization, our positions are year-round, unlike a school district in most cases. While intake and evaluations are conducted mainly at our Claremont office, most of the work for the FCESS team is performed at the family's home and mileage is reimbursable. This position is the only one that has the requirement of playing on the floor with kids!

In the FCESS program, the Early Childhood Educator provides developmental services for children under the age of three (3). Your responsibilities will include assessments of delays in areas such as motor, communication, cognition, social/emotional, and self-help skills as well as providing direct support and service coordination for children and their families. In this role, you will maintain direct service for a designated number of children, writing and keeping current case notes and files as well as participate in weekly team meetings and all scheduled in-service transdisciplinary meetings. You will participate in a transdisciplinary assessment and evaluation of designated children using a designated assessment tool and act as the liaison between children, families, and local community agencies to provide support for families. You will coordinate 6-month reviews, annual evaluations, and new IFSPs for all assigned children. You will secure all necessary releases and consents as well as updated medical information and family changes that may affect a child's development.
