Overview
Do you like to write and work with numbers? Do you enjoy working with
budgets, spreadsheets, and performance-based data? Would you like to
have an impact on the development, safety, well-being, and
self-sufficiency of Vermonters? Then the Department for Children and
Families\' Grants and Contracts Unit may be just the place for you!
\
We are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail to join our
close-knit team. The unit is based out of the Waterbury State Office
Complex and while this position is based in Waterbury, there might be an
opportunity for a limited hybrid (in office/remote) schedule.
\
Our Unit is made up of DCF Grants and Contracts Managers, who work
closely with internal and external partners to support DCF\'s
initiatives at the Agency, Department, and Division levels (Child
Development Division, Disability Determination Services, Economic
Services Division, Family Services Division, Office of Economic
Opportunities, and the Office of Child Support).
\
Key qualifications include an understanding of financial reconciliation
and budgeting, strength-based customer service, excellent written and
oral communication skills, proven ability to work independently and
juggle competing demands, flexibility, and willingness to learn. Having
experience with Uniform Guidance, the Agency of Administration\'s
Bulletins 3.5 and 5, agreement drafting, or development of detailed
scopes of work is a plus!
Environmental Factors
Duties are performed primarily in a standard office environment as well
as in the field, for which private means of transportation must be
available. Some evening and weekend work may be necessary. Considerable
tact and diplomacy will be required for effective performance. Extensive
interaction with a broad range of community groups, service providers,
advocacy groups, and other state and federal agencies will occur. Stress
may be encountered from deadlines and from operating in a highly
publicized and public setting.
