Primary responsibilities include conducting psychosocial assessments, completing home assessments, attending court hearings, attending school disciplinary hearings, referral planning and follow-up, ongoing case management and collaboration with other service providers, and advocating with providers to ensure clients received appropriate health care, educational supports, and financial benefits.

ABOUT LEGAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN

Founded in 1975, Legal Services for Children (“LSC”) is one of the country’s first non‐profit law firms

dedicated to providing free legal representation and social work services to children. Our mission is to

ensure that all children in the San Francisco Bay Area are raised in a safe environment with equal access

to a meaningful education and other services that are necessary to thrive and grow. We believe that

youth deserve positive alternatives to unnecessary placement in foster care, juvenile justice facilities,

and immigration detention. LSC started the interdisciplinary approach that is considered a best practice

in juvenile law today. We deploy attorney‐social worker teams to assist Bay Area children who need to

access the legal system to stabilize or improve their lives. LSC’s attorneys represent children in legal

matters that involve guardianship, dependency, school discipline, immigration, and other civil legal

matters. Our social workers provide crisis intervention, case management, counseling, and psychosocial

assessments. LSC staff also engage in policy and advocacy projects aimed at advancing the rights of

children.

To promote social justice and best serve our clients, LSC is committed to maintaining a diverse staff and

providing services with cultural humility. We are committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a

culture of equity, diversity and inclusion and ensuring a workplace where staff can flourish and grow

professionally, and well beyond. We strongly encourage candidates from traditionally underrepresented

communities and historically oppressed groups including People of Color and LGBTQ individuals to

apply. Bilingual/bicultural candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

Pay: $80,474.00 - $108,612.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Employee assistance program
Flexible spending account
Health insurance
Paid time off
Parental leave
Retirement plan
Vision insurance
