Summary

The Nurse Supervisor (Personal Health Services Supervisor) provides leadership and operational oversight for the Kids Plus and Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) programs within Public Health - Seattle & King County. These programs partner with families and children to support care coordination, developmental screening, health promotion, and connection to medical, social, and community-based resources in ways that are respectful, culturally responsive, and grounded in family-identified strengths and priorities.

This position supervises a multidisciplinary team providing services across Public Health Centers, satellite clinics, and community-based settings throughout King County. The Supervisor fosters a supportive and inclusive work environment that values collaboration, staff well-being, and shared accountability. They guide the delivery of high-quality, family-centered services that are trauma-informed, equity-driven, and responsive to the diverse experiences of the communities served. This includes promoting practices that recognize the impact of trauma, support resilience, and avoid re-traumatization for both clients and staff.

The Supervisor works in partnership with community organizations, healthcare providers, and internal public health teams to strengthen coordinated systems of care. This work prioritizes reducing barriers to access and improving outcomes for children and families, particularly those navigating complex medical, developmental, or social needs, and those historically underserved or disproportionately impacted by inequities.

Commitment To Equity and Social Justice:

Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nations history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.

The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all - in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.

We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
