Responsibilities:
Client is seeking a qualified consultant to analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of adoption services within the Client to optimize the adoption program. An organizational assessment conducted by ACTION in 2022 provided several recommendations to improve service delivery, including the potential for a centralized adoption unit. There were three primary findings related to adoption services; difficulty maintaining permanency and well-being practice standards at the field level, range of supervisor experience and competency related to adoption services, and permanency services are not organized in a cohesive way to maximize resources and expertise, or balance workload for adoption staff. A recommendation was made to consider centralization of adoption services which could streamline processes and improve overall efficiency, ultimately leading to better resource allocation and more consistent service delivery. This role will involve evaluating staffing needs, geographical service distribution, and ensuring alignment with state-wide standards and best practices.
