Presently I am looking to hire a Social Worker in my program. TFC is an intensive case management program for children who have an Axis I diagnosis. My program has a capacity for 40 children and 5 teams of workers serve eight children each. Each team consists of a Social Worker (a Master's level worker) and a Sociotherapist (a Bachelor's level worker). The teams work to coordinate services for each child surrounding the child's needs. These needs include the following areas: mental health, education/employment, recreation, medical, etc.

The Social Workers devise a treatment plan/ABC plan for each child and treat the targeted behaviors and issues, providing counseling to the child/youth, foster family and birth family. The Social Worker works in collaboration with community systems to ensure the well being and safety of the child, as well as working towards permanency for the child. Visits occur in the child/youth's home and school and in the community and office.

I am looking for an individual who is dedicated to the welfare of children and who exhibits motivation, commitment and caring. This job requires sound writing and communication skills. Bilingual staff is desirable to cater to our Spanish speaking parents and youth.
