Full Job Description

What You'll Be Doing

Wake County Child Welfare Division has three federally mandated goals. The first goal is safety - children will be protected from harm from child abuse and neglect. The second goal is permanence - children entering foster care will be reunited with family or placed in a new permanent home as quickly as possible. The third goal is well-being - the educational, health, and overall well-being of children in foster care or receiving CPS In-Home Services will be enhanced. Federal, state, and local policy dictate that Child Welfare seeks to accomplish these three goals by supporting and strengthening families.

We are seeking Child Protective Services - Social Workers in multiple locations for the Serious Injury Sex Abuse Unit (SISA) to join our team of dedicated professionals that protect children and enhance their well-being by supporting and strengthening families.
