What You'll Be Doing

Wake County Child Welfare serves over 500 children in foster care. We are seeking a dedicated, skilled Permanency Services Social Worker to support youth and families during critical transitions. This role blends direct engagement, critical decision-making, complex case coordination, and advocacy, all within a policy-driven, professional environment.

About the Role

As a Permanency Services Social Worker, you will guide youth in foster care toward safety, stability, and long-term success. You’ll partner closely with caregivers, community providers, schools, and courts to ensure each youth has the support, skills, and resources they need. The position requires strong documentation, critical thinking, family engagement, and the ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders.

Why This Work Matters

Adolescents in foster care are navigating schooling, identity, relationships, and the path toward adulthood while coping with instability or trauma. The right Social Worker can dramatically influence their long-term outcomes by offering safety, stability, encouragement, advocacy, and lifelong connections.

If you’re passionate about empowering youth, strengthening families, and ensuring every adolescent has a chance to thrive, we want to hear from you.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Conduct initial and ongoing assessments to determine youth and family strengths, needs, safety considerations, and permanency options

Develop individualized case plans jointly with youth and their families, incorporating their input, strengths, and goals

Facilitate Child and Family Team meetings, Permanency Services Reviews, and introductory meetings between parents and foster parents

Maintain ongoing communication with youth, parents, foster caregivers, service providers, schools, and community support to ensure safety, well-being, and case plan progress

Conduct regular home visits with children, parents, and caregivers; supervise family visitation as required

Coordinate referrals and ensure delivery of needed medical, dental, mental health, academic, and developmental services

Participate in concurrent planning to support timely permanency, including reunification, guardianship, adoption, or placement with relatives/fictive kin

Prepare documentation in accordance with state and county policy, including day sheets, assessments, court reports, time sheets, mileage logs, and other required records

Testify at adjudications, permanency services hearings, and termination of parental rights proceedings, providing clear and accurate information to the court

Educate social workers and community partners on the needs of older youth in foster care and advocate for appropriate services

Work Schedule

Primarily Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5:15 PM, with flexibility required for court hearings, family meetings, evening visits, and travel. This role often requires working outside of standard hours, and this expectation is stated upfront to ensure transparency.

Travel

Travel throughout the state and occasional out-of-state travel is required.

Emergency Service Worker Designation

This position is designated as an Emergency Service Worker and may be required to report during emergencies.
