social worker iii - Yuba City, United States - Sutter County, CA
Description
Salary : $56, $77,578.38 AnnuallyLocation : Yuba City, CA
Job Type: Full-Time Regular
Job Number: SC
Department: HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
Opening Date: 10/13/2023
Closing Date: Continuous
JOB SUMMARY
This is a continuous recruitment; applications submitted will be reviewed on a bi-weekly basis.
We will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
Adult Services
Under general direction, the Social Worker III that is assigned to the In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement program provides administrative services that strengthens and improve IHSS in Sutter County through routine case reviews, home visits, targeted reviews and general verification of receipt of services. The Social Worker III carries a difficult caseload involving the determination of need for basic social services functions for applicants or clients; performs social studies and assignments involving individualized treatment and specialized application of casework methods and skills; provides comprehensive casework services of a tangible nature; and performs other related work as assigned.
Social Worker III is the advanced journey level in the Social Worker series. Incumbents are normally assigned a selected caseload of the more difficult cases and when needed are given supervisory consultation in development of treatment plans. They may also be assigned to a specialized function requiring a high degree of perception such as a special problem caseload or they are assigned to a specific functional area such as IHSS Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement, Emergency Response, or Adult Protection. A Social Worker III may act as a lead worker to other social service workers. Incumbents are expected to work independently.
Social Worker III differs from Social Worker II in that the former receives the more difficult assignments requiring greater skill and depth of job knowledge in assessing problem situations and formulating plans for services. Incumbents normally work with a high degree of independence of action in administering services and in making use of agency or community resources. Social Worker III differs from Social Worker IV-A/B in that the latter is the most experienced worker and requires both advanced education and social work experience.
Incumbents in the Social Worker III classification receive general direction from a Social Worker Supervisor or other higher-level manager or deputy director, and may act as lead worker to lower classification working in the same program area.
The eligible list established from this recruitment may be used to fill any future opening(s), including Part-Time and Extra Help, in this class for up to nine months.
