Children’s child welfare program is seeking mission-driven professionals committed to strengthening families and supporting child safety and well-being. Drawing upon strength-based, trauma-informed practice and utilizing a family teaming model, Child Welfare Case Managers work in partnership with parents and their team to manage child safety while enhancing parents’ ability to keep their children safe. Our priority is family connectedness and our primary goals are keeping families intact and facilitating reunification. When children cannot return home safely, Child Welfare Case Managers pursue alternate forms of permanency, such as transfer of guardianship and adoption, with a focus on maintaining family relationships.
