What are the responsibilities and job description for the Case Manager position at Bay Area Youth Services?
Do you believe in the value and worth of all people and their ability to change, grow, and succeed? If so, BAYS could be the place for you. Join an organization that works in partnership with individuals, families, and communities to inspire change, growth, and success.
Here’s how some of our team feels about the position:
Being able to be in a position that can provide an impact to the kids and families we serve for the better.
Everything! Given the fact this is my first “big boy” career out of college. I have been learning and adapting as I go. Also, since the families we serve are so diverse their needs need to be addressed as well. Being able to identify them and respond accordingly is always the trick of the game.
I would say as a case manager you are placed at a point where you work closely with at-risk youth and their families, create a plan for success that matches their needs, and help and watch the progress from beginning to end. Additionally, since we are contracted by DJJ we also work alongside JPO’s, SAO’s, and community providers quite frequently as well.
What’s in it for you:
- Comprehensive health and wellness benefits
- Paid time off
- Self-Appreciation Days
- Community Involvement
- Annual Employee Events
- Leadership Development
