DEFINITION 
 
Under direction, performs social services casework involving the professional assessment of the needs of children placed in Child Welfare Programs; performs specialized social services casework involving abused, neglected, or at-risk children in Child Welfare Programs; conducts social studies and develops service plans; provides information about available services and resources and may refer clients to appropriate departmental or community resources; and performs other duties as assigned. 
 
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED 
 
Receives general supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff. 
 
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS 
 
Social Worker I: This is the entry-level classification in the Child Welfare Social Worker series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and provide basic social services case management. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level perform most of the duties required of the positions as the Social Worker II but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Positions in this class are expected to manage caseloads involving physically, sexually, and emotionally abused and/or neglected children and their families. 
 
Social Worker II: This is the journey-level classification in the Child Welfare Social Worker series. This classification is responsible for independently performing case management duties of moderate complexity. Positions at this level exercise judgment and initiative in their assigned tasks and assess client&rsquo;s needs for services. Positions in this class are expected to manage caseloads involving physically, sexually, and emotionally abused and/or neglected children and their families. 
 
Social Worker III: 
This is the advanced level classification in the Child Welfare Social Worker series responsible for performing more complex cases assigned to the series. Positions at this level exercise judgment and initiative in their assigned tasks and handle more difficult, sensitive and specialized cases and decisions are made where consequence of error may be significant. This class requires advanced casework skills, a high degree of program knowledge, judgement, and creativity. Positions in this class are expected to manage caseloads involving physically, sexually, and emotionally abused and/or neglected children and their families. This class is distinguished from the Social Worker IV class in that the latter is expected to lead lower-level staff and manage the most complex cases requiring the highest level of skill. 
Positions in the Child Welfare Social Worker class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II and III-levels may be filled by advancement from the I-level and the II-level; progression to the II and III-levels is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance: (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II and III-levels.</div>
