Foster Care Advocacy Center (FCAC) is hiring a staff attorney to represent children and parents in child welfare cases in Harris County.

Staff attorneys serve as attorneys ad litem or guardians ad litem for children in foster care and parents involved with child protective services.

Attorneys must build professional and trusting relationships with clients, counsel clients in a developmentally appropriate manner, actively engage in litigation, and provide excellent advocacy in the courtroom.

Attorneys work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes social workers and lived experience advocates to provide high quality legal services, reduce the time children spend in foster care, help individuals access services to stabilize families, and prevent unnecessary removals of children.

Individuals interested in the position can email a cover letter and resume to info@fcactexas.org.
