Entry Level Engineering Jobs in Wallingford, CT (NOW HIRING)

When families are working to rebuild trust and move toward reunification, the social worker matters. CCP is hiring a Family Reunification Social Worker in the New Haven region for an MSW-trained professional who wants direct family work, strong supervision, and room to grow into the next stage of practice.

This is a full-time role for someone earlier in career, or still building depth after graduate school, who wants work that is both demanding and worthwhile. You will support children and families in reunification and therapeutic family time services while building the skills that make LMSW progression in Connecticut more realistic and better supported.

Why You'll Love Working Here

This role offers substance early. You will work directly with children and families participating in reunification and therapeutic family time services, not from a distance and not in a narrow administrative seat. The work is mission-driven, but it is also structured: you will be supported by clinical supervision, mentorship, and a team culture that values intention, accountability, and steady development.

CCP also backs growth with concrete support. For team members who do not already hold an LMSW, CCP offers a $1,500 Educational Award Bonus upon completion and certification of the LMSW. You will also have access to leadership development opportunities, Lunch & Learn sessions with internal and external experts, and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Taken together, this role is a strong fit for an MSW professional who wants to build skill, credibility, and licensure momentum without losing sight of mission impact.

What You'll Do

·         You will carry a caseload of children and families participating in reunification services and therapeutic family time programming.

·         You will support and facilitate supervised visitations as needed, while helping maintain a safe and age-appropriate environment.

·         You will provide parenting support and practical guidance that helps families move toward stronger engagement and greater stability.

Coordinate care and keep work moving

·         You will coordinate regularly with DCF, courts, schools, and collateral providers and attend family or team meetings as needed.

·         You will complete timely case notes, progress reports, data entry, and related documentation with accuracy and follow-through.

·         You will provide transportation, crisis support, and office- or community-based service delivery as assigned.

·         You will participate consistently in clinical supervision, mentorship, training, and quality improvement activities.

What You'll Bring To The Table

Required

·         Master of Social Work (MSW) required.

·         Valid Connecticut driver's license, reliable personal transportation during working hours, and ability to pass required background checks.

·         Ability to complete documentation accurately, maintain confidentiality, and work effectively across multiple service systems.

·         Professional judgment, sound boundaries, and a family-centered approach to practice.

·         Availability to work a 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. schedule with flexibility based on service needs in office and community environments.

Preferred

·         Early-career experience working with children and families in child welfare, family support, supervised visitation, or related direct-service settings.

·         Familiarity with DCF-involved families, reunification services, or visitation coaching models.

·         Training or experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and culturally responsive practice.

·         Interest in using this role as a serious development step toward LMSW progression in Connecticut.
