Job Description

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR - CHURCH AMBASSADOR


OVERVIEW

You believe that people want to come together to care for the most vulnerable, yet they struggle to know who to help and how to connect. You know that children shouldn't pay the highest price when families face extreme hardships, and you want to see the Church and the Community unite to care together. Colleagues would describe you as highly relational, a natural connector with a strong, diverse network of Church leaders and community connections. You are known as a vision-caster, someone who can't help but share their passion with everyone and inspire others to take action, regardless of their background or position. You deeply desire to see the Church rise to its calling to foster meaningful connections with their neighbors by first serving and meeting the immediate needs of the most vulnerable.



CarePortal is Care-Sharing technology that drives action for local kids and families in crisis. We subscribe to the vision that through the Church and Community, there can be More Than Enough care for every child through the power of Care-Sharing in local communities before, during, and beyond foster care. The goal is transformation from child welfare to family well-being in the lives of hurting children/families, the Church, and the Community. We develop and mobilize robust Care-Sharing Networks and lead with Courage, Humility, and Excellence.

We do this through the local Church and in concert with child-serving organizations, businesses, and people who care--that's where you come in.



CONTRACT POSITION SUMMARY

Local Network Church Ambassador (1099 Independent Contractor)--California: Riverside/San Bernardino Counties


As an independent contractor, you have a strong desire to strengthen and empower local children and families in your area by recruiting and mobilizing a network of Churches in your county. You are passionate about bridging the gap between community outreach and seeing the Church engage meaningfully with families in their surrounding areas to form lasting relationships. You view technology as an opportunity and tool to create impactful connections, and your ability to inspire Church leaders and volunteers to utilize CarePortal's technology will drive success in establishing a network of active, equipped, and engaged CarePortal Church networks, deepening their impact. You are relationship-focused yet driven to follow through, both a self-starter and a collaborative team player. You are confident in your ability to present and train church members to not only learn CarePortal technology but also serve children and families with dignity and empathy, one meaningful connection at a time. Your heart is to see the Whole Church work in unity to respond to its greatest calling--to serve the vulnerable in its midst--and you envision churches from all denominations and demographics radically collaborating together. Your strengths lie in community engagement, vision-casting, and presenting to diverse audiences, and your strong relationship-building skills enable you to develop and sustain an engaged and united network.



At CarePortal, we believe that children belong in the care of healthy, loving families and that families should be supported by a local church and caring members of their community. If you are ready to leverage your expertise for a mission you care deeply about, join us as an independent contractor to help close the front door of the foster care system in your region and beyond.
