Areas of need

We are particularly excited to fill positions in Day One’s MISSION program, which serves adults transitioning out of Michigan Department of Corrections facilities who experience substance use disorders or mental health conditions.
"To provide the best mental health services to those we serve, Oakland Family Services is looking for talented, professional mental health providers who are aligned with our mission and vision and model our well-defined and practiced cultural values,” said Director of Human Resources Kristy Eisenberg. “We seek out candidates who have a strong appreciation and sensitivity to the diversity of our agency's service population and staff, such as differences of culture, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic character/representation and more. We look for candidates who demonstrate a warm, compassionate commitment to provide our clients (individuals and families) the very best opportunities to build brighter futures."
Oakland Family Services is also offering leadership opportunities for early childhood educators, including supervisory roles at our Children’s Learning Centers in Pontiac and Walled Lake.
"Not only is Oakland Family Services committed to providing the best quality preschool experience to prepare the children we serve for a brighter future and help them become ready to enter kindergarten, we are also committed to providing providing brighter futures for our staff with opportunities for professional advancement,” Eisenberg said. “Our staff is our agency's greatest asset and we strive to invest in their professional development with opportunities for continuing education training and career growth.
