Throughout its 75-year history, the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) has administered numerous externally funded projects serving children and families. The Butler Institute for Families (Butler), established in 1994, is affiliated with GSSW and is nationally recognized for our leadership and collaborative work at the national, state, and local level in evaluation, research, and technical assistance aimed at improving the quality of child-, youth-, and family-serving systems.
We bring together researchers, practitioners, public and private service system experts, and community members to: engage in program evaluation and research; examine outcomes; and provide technical assistance and training to program administrators, direct service providers, and community leaders. Currently, Butler conducts business in four primary content areas: child welfare, early childhood systems, tribal child welfare, and behavioral health. These content areas operate within a Research-to-Practice framework that promotes the use, adoption, adaptation, replication, and scaling of research and/or evaluation knowledge and the integration of this knowledge in practice. In addition to the benefits offered by the University of Denver (see here for more details: https://www.du.edu/jobs/), Butler offers the opportunity to work with a dedicated group of people committed to using research and evaluation to inform practice and practice to inform research and evaluation. We also offer professional development and job growth opportunities, flexible schedules, and the opportunity to work remotely. Butler stands in solidarity against the systemic oppression of persons of color and American Indian/Alaska Native tribes, communities, and individuals. Butler intentionally partners with family and child-serving agencies to create healing, positive systemic change, and daily inclusive actions that reflect racial equity. This is a grant-funded position.
Position Summary
This position will serve as a full-time Senior Program Associate, supporting several grant-funded projects primarily in Butlers child welfare and tribal child welfare content areas of Butler. This person will be responsible for developing and delivering culturally relevant learning opportunities for the child welfare workforce, such as virtual and in-person training curriculum, coaching, webinars, learning exchanges, and transfer of learning events, including learning circles and/or implementation coaching. This position is also responsible for participating in the development of supplemental learning products, such as desk aides, one-pagers, and handouts. The development and delivery of learning opportunities and organizational implementation support, including coaching, will involve working collaboratively with staff and child welfare partners. The senior program associate position will provide culturally responsive coaching, training, and capacity-building to child and family-serving organizations throughout the nation. Other activities include work plan development and project management of service delivery. This is a grant-funded position, and while Butler often has new projects that can replace a project that ends, Butler cannot guarantee positions after the end of grant funding.
