Job Description:

Nebraska's Division of Children and Family Services is seeking a DHHS Program Specialist to support our statewide Title IV-E program. This position brings together federal compliance, program analysis, policy and procedure development, fiscal stewardship, and process improvement. You'll research complex questions, develop practical recommendations, and coordinate projects that help improve how our program operates. Sometimes the work begins with a question raised in a meeting, a concern identified by staff, or new federal guidance. You'll need to determine what deserves further review, gather the right information, work with the people who understand the issue, and move assigned work toward a useful outcome. We're looking for someone who can think critically, work independently, communicate clearly, and follow through. You'll work alongside experienced program staff, supervisors, and partners to strengthen Title IV-E operations and support responsible administration of the federal funding that helps Nebraska serve children and families.

Hourly Rate: $24.862
