For more than 50 years, Children’s Council has been the heart of childcare and early education in San Francisco, advancing the belief that high-quality childcare can transform lives and communities. Our more than 150 team members help families navigate their childcare and preschool options and secure financial assistance to pay for it. We provide home-based childcare businesses with the training and resources to succeed. Through a wide range of free programs and workshops, we support parents and caregivers as they build child development skills. As the city’s second-largest nonprofit contractor, with an annual budget of over $240 million, we are a major stakeholder in the childcare system. We educate the public and advocate for increased investment in early education at the local and state level. If you are a childcare champion, we want you on our team.

Under the supervision of the Family Services Supervisor, the Family Services Specialist II (FSS II) supports low-income families in and around San Francisco by evaluating and maintaining their eligibility to receive financial assistance to pay for childcare in any or all Subsidy programs at Children’s Council. The FSS II is a trusted resource for families navigating intricate program requirements and seeking information or referrals to other supportive services and community resources. With the ability to prioritize and multitask competently, the FSSII coordinates multiple family and program-driven deliverables to provide the best possible support to families within a complex regulatory environment.
