    Job Description

    Job DescriptionSalary: $70,000 - $110,000

    Fast paced San Bernardino County based law firm is seeking a compassionate and highly motivated Investigative Social Worker/Investigator to assess risk, safety, along with the developmental, psychosocial and educational needs of children of all ages. Strong investigative skills are also a must as conducting home assessments and forensic interviews of children are primary responsibilities.

    CAG Social Work Investigators provide vitally important information to CAG attorneys about our clients. Investigators are responsible for visiting clients in their home placements, at school, in hospital settings, and other locations, to gather information from and about our clients. This includes information about the conditions of the home, health and safety concerns, developmental progress, medical and educational issues, service needs and family relationships.

    CAG Social Work Investigators should have a working knowledge of the various types of child abuse including but not limited to neglect, physical, emotional & sexual abuse, along with a working knowledge of child development, domestic violence, child sexual exploitation, substance abuse, and mental health issues. Investigators must have an ability to connect with children and gain their trust. They must be able to work with children of all ages, genders, religions, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

    Duties include, and are not limited to:

    • Visit with clients, caretakers and others in order to develop a trusting and professional relationship with clients
    • Interview caretakers and children, to the extent possible, in order to observe and document the children's current living situation, developmental progress and emotional wellbeing
    • During client contact, the investigator is expected to note any services that have not been implemented, that may need to be implemented, or any other issues for attorney review
    • Evaluate and recommend the need for further or different services that may be beneficial to the child and the family
    • Identify services in the community and make referrals as needed
    • Assist attorneys with client interviews
    • Serve as duty day investigator in the office
    • Communicate regularly with the attorneys, both verbally and in writing, regarding status of caseloads and assignments and with all relevant information regarding the client
    • With general direction from the attorney, attend Individual Education Plan (IEP) meetings, TDM and similar team decision making meetings, DCFS and placement staffing, hospital screenings and Regional Center conferences
    • Manage and maintain caseload.

    Frequently exercise discretion and independent judgment at meetings, conferences and hearings attended as the sole representative of CAG.

    Investigators work under limited day-to-day supervision of Investigator Supervisor and attorneys. Within a very short turn-around time, the Investigator is responsible for annotating the client file with all observation notes and information obtained from the interview, and when necessary makes recommendations to the case-carrying attorney.

    They immediately respond to any inquiries regarding case status from their supervisors and seek assistance from supervisors when prudent or required. Investigators attend and participate in training sessions, and attend staff meetings.

    Investigators are to be flexible, have a team player attitude and be willing to assist other Investigators as requested by supervisors. They are to be professional, patient, and understanding when interacting with clients, caregivers, colleagues and supervisors. Investigators are to have a pleasant demeanor in the office and demonstrate effective communication with colleagues and supervisors.
