The Program Supervisor of the Child Welfare Resource Referral Program will work collaboratively within and across programs to ensure a relentless focus on keeping children safe and supporting families, which includes replacing what we currently think of as child welfare services with what we know to be child, family, and community well-being solutions.

  • At least two years' social services experience required (child welfare experience highly desirable).
  • Child Endangerment Risk Assessment Protocol (CERAP), and Child Abuse and Neglect (CANS) certification required, or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire.
  • Ability to attend in-person meetings and events as needed required.
  • Valid driver's license, insurance, and a reliable vehicle required.

We are dedicated to fair and equitable compensation practices and are committed to fostering a diverse workforce while providing equal opportunities for all candidates.
  • Benefits: Medical/dental/vision insurance, 3+ weeks paid time off in the first year including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day (PTO increases with tenure); 11 paid holidays, supplemental insurance options, 401(k) with match (more benefits details here).
  • Location: Hybrid (remote/in office), in-home services provided to families in Lake County, home office is 2800 S. River Road. Des Plaines, IL.
  • Schedule: Full-time, salaried; general business hours with some flexibility required for on-call responsibility and special projects.
