Family Group Decision Making Coordinator



Job description

Ready to take your social work career in a bold new direction?

Do you have five years or more experience in child welfare?

We are partnering with the Eastern Band of Cherokee to support the community through a Family Group Decision-Making Model. 


We're growing and looking for dynamic and knowledgeable social workers who are creative and committed to excellence in practice, specific to coordinating Family Meetings within the EBCI community.

Our company embraces innovation and redefines the way social work is conducted in North Carolina.

Our team authentically embodies the A4O values, including excellence in customer service and the ability to be flexible.


We are actively recruiting for EBCI  Family Group Decision-Making (FGDM) program, which is rooted in the traditional Cherokee practice of coming together to solve problems and plan for the future, particularly for the well-being of families and children.


Description of an FGDM Coordinator:


Based on general FGDM principles, and information about the EBCI Family Safety Program, a Family Group Decision-Making Coordinator for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians would likely embody the following characteristics and responsibilities:



  • Facilitator: The coordinator helps families come together and develop a plan to address issues that threaten family unity.

    While the family develops the plan, the coordinator assists with the process.

  • Independent: The coordinator remains independent from the case decision-making process for the specific family they are coordinating for.

    This ensures impartiality and fairness.

  • Cultural Sensitivity: A key aspect of the EBCI program is the integration of Cherokee culture, beliefs, and traditions into their daily practices.

    The coordinator would therefore need to be sensitive to and respectful of the family's culture and traditions.

  • Supporter of Family Leadership: FGDM processes emphasize the family's role in decision-making and planning.

    The coordinator supports the family in leading this process.

  • Process Keeper: The coordinator's role is to keep the decision-making process on track, ensuring everyone's voice is heard.

  • Information Carrier: The coordinator provides relevant information to all participants, without creating the information themselves.

  • Skilled in Relationship Building: The coordinator would need strong relationship-building skills to work effectively with families, community members, and other stakeholders.

  • Understanding of Trauma: Given the focus on family safety and well-being within the EBCI context, the coordinator would need to understand the impact of trauma and adversity on families and children.

  • Problem-Solver: The coordinator would help families identify their strengths and potential solutions.



Specific Responsibilities may include:



  • Assisting families in understanding the purpose of the FGDM conference.

  • Developing an invitation list and selecting a conference site.

  • Facilitating the conference.

  • Working with cultural leaders to develop an understanding of the family's worldview and decision-making model.

  • Monitoring the implementation of the family plan.

  • Communicating with family members and other stakeholders to support the plan's success.

  • Organizing follow-up meetings as needed.

  • Addressing obstacles that may interfere with the decision-making process.

  • Consulting with a panel for guidance on complex cases.



The EBCI Family Safety Program emphasizes keeping families together and instilling Cherokee culture and traditions in their work.

This cultural focus would likely be a significant part of the FGDM Coordinator's role within the EBCI.
