    RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:

    The primary purpose is for the Social Worker to provide in-home services to families whose children remain in their custody, but have been found to need ongoing services due to abuse and/or neglect of the children.

In such situations, the worker is responsible for completing kinship assessments, assisting families to make safety resource placements, and/or filing custody paperwork with the court, removing children from the custody of the parents, and preparing for and attending subsequent court hearings.

    The social worker will use critical thinking in complex situations to assess on-going safety and risk factors while services are being provided to children in the home of their parents. The social worker will use their social work skills and knowledge to determine when to seek removal of custody through the juvenile court when the child cannot be maintained safely in the home of the parent or caretaker. There may be other duties assigned within child welfare as necessary.

    Must serve as an after-hours on-call worker in rotation with other workers.
