The Human Services Agency (HSA) of County of San Mateo is seeking 5 (five) qualified applicants for the position of Children's Services Social Worker III in the Children and Family Services (CFS) Branch.

Children's Services Social Workers work under general supervision and provide highly skilled, intensive casework services to children and their families. Provision of services to a difficult caseload requires exercising discretion and using judgment in assessing and working with the needs of children and families and providing casework consultation within CFS and to outside agencies. This classification series is distinguished from the Social Worker classification series for having responsibility for children and family welfare service cases. It is further distinguished from the Psychiatric Social Worker Series in that the latter provides clinical counseling/therapy and requires a clinical license. CFS is responsible for addressing child abuse and neglect on a 24/7 basis. As such, some assignments are required to work nights, weekends, and holidays. Additionally, this position is subject to on-call shifts. Some shifts may include a differential rate according to the AFSME MOU (link).

As a field, child welfare work is challenging and stressful, but also extremely rewarding. They are exposed to children and families dealing with trauma from their experience with abuse and neglect, financial hardships, addiction to alcohol and other drugs, mental health issues, and racism. Working in child welfare requires engagement with families who may not trust our agency to build and/or strengthen their support systems. Outstanding organizational, time management and writing skills are absolutely critical to your success as a child welfare worker as you support children and families while coordinating with the courts and service providers. While you will spend much of your time doing paperwork, it is your time with families that will have a lasting impact. Many children and families experience their social worker as the one person in their life who made a difference, sometimes altering or impacting the course of generational or historical trauma experienced. We are grateful to support the resiliency of children and partner with families and their relatives, communities, and Tribes who care greatly about them. If you are ready to commit to this great and challenging work, we welcome your interest in this field.

Social Workers within this branch provide and perform a wide variety of Child Welfare Services to neglected, abused, or dependent children and their families to:

• Ensure the health, welfare, and safety of children
• Provide crisis intervention
• Perform safety and risk assessments
• Keep families together by partnering with them to safely maintain the children in the home
• Arrange substitute care, ideally with relatives, when necessary
• Develop a permanency plan for children who are unable to return home
• Collaboratively work with the family, their support network, and other professionals from diverse backgrounds
• Connect children and families with services and other referrals
• Write court reports, case documentation, and safety and/or case plans
• Serve as officers of the juvenile court, acting for and as directed by the court in all relationships with their clients

New hires will be assigned to the New Worker Training Unit (NWTU) prior to any decisions being made regarding unit assignments. At that time, assignments will be made to any unit within CFS based on the agency’s needs. Traditionally, new workers are assigned to Emergency Response (ER), Court Investigations, or Family Maintenance & Reunification (FM/FR). New workers could also be placed in the Weekend and After Hours units.

The ideal candidate will possess:

• Mastery of core Child Welfare Services competencies, including alignment with the national goals of promoting safety, permanency, and well-being when working with families
• Master's degree from an accredited college or university in social work that includes an internship
• Experience and/or knowledge of Integrated Core Practice Model (ICPM) behaviors (link)
• Experience with various techniques in interviewing, family engagement, and problem solving with families of diverse backgrounds
• Experience with trauma informed assessment and intervention
• Value for addressing racial disparities and disproportionality within child welfare
• The ability to successfully manage multiple competing priorities
• The ability to communicate effectively, orally and in writing

Licensure/Certification: California class C driver license or equivalent.

Education: Completion of a Master's degree in Social Work from an accredited college or university that includes an internship.

Substitution: A Master's degree from an accredited college or university in a Counseling program emphasizing Marriage, Family and Child Counseling or Marriage and Family Therapy that included an internship or supervised field work, AND completion of one (1) year of qualifying case management/work experience that included responsibility for a long term caseload, development of service/treatment plans; monitoring compliance through home calls, field calls and other personal contact; modification of treatment plans as needed/required; and authority to impose/recommend sanctions for non-compliance, impacting benefits or services (i.e. case closures, terminate benefits and or program participation).
