SOCIAL WORKER IA/T (Child Protective Services) Case Management  Description of Duties: The primary purpose of the Child Protective Services Case Management worker's position is to protect children from abuse and neglect and to stabilize the family.

Cases are referred from the CPS investigator once investigation is completed.

The case management worker would offer supportive services and planning with the child's family toward the solution and prevention of problems causing neglect and abuse. The case management worker may petition the court for an alternate placement, if the family situation can not be stabilized MINIMUM TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:  Master’s degree from an accredited school of social work and one year of social work experience; or a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited school of social work and two years of social work or counseling experience; or Master’s degree in a counseling field and two years of social work or counseling experience; or a four-year degree in a human services field or related curriculum and three years of social work or counseling experience; or graduation from a four-year college or university and four years of experience in rehabilitation counseling, pastoral counseling or a related human service field providing experience in the techniques of casework, group work or community organization; or an equivalent combination of training and experience.  One year of work experience can be credited for completion of the social work collaborative.
