**About You**:
Do you enjoy advocating for and supporting others? Are you able to provide emotional support, guidance, and assistance? Are you a champion for equity and inclusion? Do you thrive in building and fostering positive relationships?

If you answered yes to these questions, we have an exciting opportunity for you to explore with the Federation of Foster Families of Nova Scotia as the Foster Allegation & Support Social Worker for foster parents who have self-identified as African Nova Scotian.

If you are a natural leader who is capable of providing professional social work support based on your lived experience and understanding of the African Nova Scotian community, this job is the perfect fit for you.

As a member of the Federation of Foster Families of Nova Scotia's team, you will not only provide support services; but, you will also facilitate an educational component when you meet with perspective foster/adoptive parents, foster family associations or support groups, and/or agencies/district offices.
