Financial Counselor II

Family Service has offered comprehensive services to vulnerable populations in our community since 1903, and our mission has always remained strong:
To empower individuals and families to transform their lives and strengthen their community. Our programs are committed to helping to improve the overall health of our families by working with community partners to effectively address social and economic instability, as well as provide valuable resources and support in homes, neighborhoods, schools and workplaces. These efforts demonstrate effectiveness in addressing community needs and improving outcomes for families in the communities we serve while addressing social determinants of health that directly impact where people live, learn, work and play.

Our programs provide services to include early childhood education, mental health and well-being counseling services, outpatient substance abuse treatment, parent education and engagement, family strengthening, therapeutic visitation and neutral exchange for children and families; financial empowerment, workforce development and readiness, and senior in-home assistance.

The Financial Counselor II works in a Financial Empowerment Center location and provides personal and family financial counseling to service members and their families. Financial counseling will be provided to assist with establishing a basic level of financial literacy and good financial behavior and habits, as well as more sophisticated financial planning to assist with building savings accounts, increasing credit scores and addressing issues on credit reports as well as assisting with setting long-term financial goals for the individual or families that enrolled in our program, while ensuring that services provided are in alignment with the Social Determinants of Health through a trauma informed care lens as defined by the agency.

Will also provide job training assistance to individuals and families as assigned.
