The Director of Practice Innovation will have the opportunity to shape and oversee a fundamental shift in the way foster care is delivered in Washington state and across a growing community of state and national partners, with MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY ™ -- an innovative and evidence-informed approach to more effectively deliver foster care. MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ creates a micro-community of foster parents and youth, with proximity and opportunities for frequent community gatherings, that is designed to provide a supportive family for parents and youth alike. It has been proven, through a recent state-wide evaluation, to retain foster parents and stabilize foster children and youth at significantly higher rates than Washington’s traditional approach to foster care. In response to significant demand, and in recognition of the success of this approach, MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ is also being implemented in California, New York, and internationally in Australia, the U.K., Canada, and Japan. This innovative, yet simple approach to delivering foster care holds the promise of reducing the amount of trauma young people experience during foster care, keeping kids in their home community, providing a familial and culturally relevant experience, and delivering better educational and life outcomes.
With the creation of the new Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF) in Washington state and the passage of the federal Families First legislation, we have a rare moment to capitalize on and truly transform the way foster care is delivered, both in Washington and across our nation. Together we can ensure each and every kid’s experience in foster care is supported and healthy, and that it comes with the full opportunity to thrive in life. The Director of Practice Innovation will have the opportunity to work closely with foster parents, young people, lawmakers, educators, partner agencies, public systems, funders, and other key stakeholders, to make the promise of MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™ a reality.
In addition to a deep emphasis in scaling and deepening the impact of our work in Washington state, the Director will provide technical support and training to our growing Mockingbird Families around the world. Working in close collaboration with partners in California, New York, Australia, the U.K., Canada, and Japan, the Director will provide strategic counsel and technical assistance to enable our partners to achieve better outcomes for young people and work to sustainably and strategically grow our MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™.
The Director will serve as a member of our senior management team and have responsibilities for supporting organizational goals and the vision and direction of the Executive Director.
This successful candidate will have a deep commitment and passion for the welfare of youth experiencing foster care, along with relevant lived experience, credibility, and proven effectiveness in supporting young people who have experienced trauma.
