These positions are found in a variety of settings and work with diverse types of people. They may be found in hospitals and other health service agencies, social service agencies, schools, correctional facilities, and programs concerned with substance abuse, aging, and family violence. Although work settings and clientele may differ, all Social Workers and Human Service Professionals use similar professional concepts, principles and techniques regardless of the program in which they work.
The Social Worker or Human Services Professional positions are distinguished by the complexity of assigned cases and level of authority assumed by the worker. The following summarizes the types of positions found at this level:
Type A: The fully trained, experienced social worker or human services professional who independently performs the full range of professional human services work for a caseload consisting of predominantly highly complex cases. These are cases where clients frequently exhibit extreme hostility (which may include violent behavior to others or themselves) or resistance to services, possibly because they have been repeatedly referred to or compelled to accept agency services; have multiple and/or severe psychological, mental, physical, and environmental problems or have become the focus of notoriety and/or intense public scrutiny; and there is difficulty in determining or obtaining appropriate services, and in having clients accept services and comply with treatment plans.
Type B:
These Social Worker or Human Services Professional III positions do not function at the fully independent worker level. All or a major portion of their assigned cases consists of clients for whom it is difficult to determine or obtain appropriate services; who may be hostile or resistant to services; or who present significant complexities due to factors such as multiple and/or severe psychosocial, physical/mental, and environmental problems. Positions utilize established policies and procedures and casework skills and judgment to address more routine aspects of casework, but due to the frequently volatile nature of the assigned cases, work will continue to be monitored by more experienced co-workers or the supervisor.
OR
The fully trained and experienced Social Worker or Human Services Professional IV who serves as a program specialist under the direction of a higher level specialist or other professional, and is assigned a program which is fairly narrow in scope and/or generally part of a larger program area. Work may encompass various tasks such as interpreting, clarifying and developing guidelines within the overall scope of the larger program; drafting policies and implementation plans; developing training guides and providing training; and monitoring and reporting on implementation.
Type C: The fully trained, experienced Social Worker or Human Services Professional IV who spends a significant portion of the work time in direct performance of work typical of the Social Worker or Human Services Professional III and concurrently supervises a small group of less experienced Social Workers or Human Services Professionals and/or others providing professional human services, without having significant program management responsibilities.
Developmental Disabilities (DDD) - Service individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities and their families, providing case management functions; developing new and existing resources and services; or developing and coordinating quality assurance activities.
