Parenting Educator

The role of a Parenting Educator is to work with parents of children aged newborn through ten years old, typically in their home setting. The aim is to instruct and reinforce positive, healthy, and safe parenting skills using a specially designed, evidence-based parenting program. This program is currently operating in Armstrong and Westmoreland Counties, Pennsylvania. It provides a specialized version of parenting classes to assist adults who may not be able to complete typical parenting classes. Such families may be involved in the child welfare system. The Parenting Educator presents the parenting course to the parents' homes. Documentation is compiled, and progress is tracked using checklists and progress notes. The agency trains the Parenting Educator on the implementation of the program. This position is casual, with the potential to lead to part-time and full-time employment in the future.
