I.A.Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit This social worker position is assigned to the Adult Service Unit, which is part of the Service Division of a local department of social services which provides crisis assistance and on-going supportive services to eligible individuals and their families. B.Primary Purpose The social worker in this position has the responsibility of assisting aged, disabled, and other adults experiencing medical, social, and community problems to identify their problems. The worker strives to enhance the client's problem-solving and coping capacities with the purpose of providing services to enable the individual to live independently in his or her community. C.Work Schedule The normal work hours are from 8:00am until 5:00pm. The worker may have to work overtime on some occasions for which he/she will receive compensatory time. D.Change in Responsibilities or Organizational Relationship This position now has the added responsibility to investigate Adult Protective Service reports, assess competency of adults and make recommendations regarding the need for a guardian. Protective Services for Adults is a multi-factored service based on an awareness of the vulnerability of some adults to abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Abuse means willful infliction of physical pain, injury, or mental anguish or unreasonable confinement, or the willful deprivation by a caretaker of services which are necessary to maintain mental and physical health. Neglect refers to a disabled adult who is either living alone or not able to provide for himself or herself the services which are necessary to maintain mental or physical health or is not receiving services from his caretaker. Exploitation means the illegal or improper use of a disabled adult or his resources for another's profit or advantage. The protective service component consists of provisions in the state law for intervention in crisis situations in which adults are reported to be in need of protection. It is the role of the social worker to ensure that the agency's actions are consistent with statutory and state requirements. Adults who are in need of this protection are persons 18 years of age or older with disabilities or handicaps such as age, physical, mental or socioeconomic, which have incapacitated them to such a degree that they are unable to take care of themselves and who have no one able or willing to assist them with the care of their needs. Guardianship involves the provision of services to individuals who are alleged to be incompetent and their families. It includes legal proceedings in which an adult is declared incompetent by the court and another party is given the responsibility for duties relative to the adult's personal affairs and/or property. The nature and scope of a guardian's responsibility are determined by the court, based on applicable provisions of the law and the circumstances of the individual case. Guardianship ends with the death of the incompetent adult or with a judicial restoration of the adult's competency. The legal determination that an adult is incompetent means that the adult is considered incapable of making important decisions concerning his/her personal welfare and/or financial resources. The authority in this position is given to a guardian to make decisions such as where the adult will live, including the geographical area and type of living arrangement; how the adult's income will be spent; and whether the adult will have recommended medical treatment or surgery. To the extent that the guardian is given authority over these and other areas of the adult's life, the adult no longer has the right to make decisions in those areas. Because of the effect of declaring an adult legally incompetent and giving his/her authority to make decisions to guardian, guardianship should be considered only when other less drastic methods of assisting adults are not sufficient.

This is an advanced, professional level casework position, providing counseling and case management services for children who are identified as neglected and/or abused or dependent. This is done so by assessing family situations to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the family system and to evaluate the level of risk the child may face in the home.

Employee serves on a rotation basis for periodic radio coverage. Change in Responsibilities or Organizational Relationship None Following is a description of responsibilities and duties of this position listed in order of importance. All responsibilities and duties are essential to the effective performance of an In-Home Services SW IA&T. Intervention developed The In-Home Services SW IA&T is responsible for reviewing the case and becoming familiar with the family dynamics, identified problems and strengths of the family. Utilizing the Child and Family Team process, a Family Services Agreement is devised jointly with the family based on the Risk Assessment and Initial Case Plan. The Family Services Agreement contains objectives that are measurable, time limited, describe specific desired outcomes and identify necessary behavior changes. Identified needs, objectives and activities are directed toward alleviating the problems that lead to the abuse, neglect or dependency and addressing underlying issues that may contribute to the need for protective services. Once the case plan is devised, the helping process is defined. Providing/arranging for counseling or supportive services The In-Home Services SW IA&T provides counseling to the client directed toward the development and utilization of family support systems including recognition of develop-ment and utilization of strengths, overcoming personal, social, and environmental barriers, and utilizing agency and community resources. The worker seeks community resources to assist the client in attaining their goals. Monitoring and assessment The In-Home Services SW IA&T must monitor the Family Services Agreement and complete a Risk Assessment at various intervals in all neglect, abuse and/or dependency cases requiring continued mandated services. After a Family Services Agreement is negotiated, ongoing monitoring and assessment is necessary to determine if the plan continues to be appropriate and that the plan of intervention continues to address the identified needs of the parent and children. This monitoring includes regular interviews with the client in the home and requires collateral contact with other public agencies such as mental health, medical professionals, day care providers, health department personnel, and relatives and friends of the client. Updating the Family Services Agreement is necessary when changes in the family occur and it becomes necessary to revise the plan in order to implement an appropriate plan of protection for the child. Court action is used in the event the client does not meet the objective and the safety of the child is at risk. It is the worker's responsibility to provide the supervisor with a factual assessment in order for the joint decision to be made regarding court action. Prior to court action, the worker must complete the Risk Assessment, which indicates the risk and/or harm to the child by remaining in the home. Use of the court and court preparation Court activity is very much a part of the Social Worker's duties. Prior to the decision for court intervention or in the case of an emergency, immediately after obtaining a non-secure custody order, the worker will present her case to the Child and Family Team which makes recommendations as to alternatives to court or the children entering into agency custody. In the event that out of home placement is necessary or, to ensure permanence in a child's life, the Social Worker initiates court action through a non-secure custody order and/or petition, assesses placement options (relatives or foster care) and conjointly with the foster care worker develops an appropriate plan for the child. The worker prepares the child and family for separation, placement and the court process. The worker prepares a written assessment for the court, solicits witnesses when necessary, shares information with the child's Guardian ad Litem and testifies in court making the agency's recommendation. The worker must also follow up with written reports for court review as ordered or required. The worker may conduct an investigation of suspected abuse and when evidence of abuse is found the worker is required to report such information to the District Attorney and law enforcement within a specified time frame both verbally and also in writing. Law enforcement and the Case Manager interview the victim and perpetrator. Should the perpetrator be prosecuted, the worker may be a witness during court proceedings. Social Workers may be subpoenaed to testify in both civil and criminal proceedings due to their involvement with their clients. Monitoring, reviewing, maintaining The In-Home Services SW IA&T is responsible for monitoring, reviewing, and maintaining cases through various means. This is accomplished through frequent contact with the client by visiting them in their home, interviews in the agency and telephone contact, collateral contacts and in some situations periodic court reviews. Both face to face and collateral contacts are made monthly according to state standard. The Social Worker formally assesses the client's progress by updating and re-signing the Family Services Agreement on a quarterly basis and whenever there is a major change in the family, reassesses the risk to the child(ren) by completing the Risk Assessment form. These reviews assess the progress of the client in alleviating the factors that lead to the abuse, neglect or dependency and whether the client has been able to demonstrate they can provide a safe environment for their child (ren). Further services may be identified at this time. The Social Worker is required to present cases in the agency's foster care review team when a child comes into agency custody. This team closely monitors those children whose custody has been removed from his parents or whose custody has been placed with the Department of Social Services. Interpretation of Child Protective Services The In-Home Services SW IA&T is a member of the agency's public forum and occasion-ally is called on to speak at meetings of community agencies and organizations in an effort to emphasize the preventive nature of the agency's services and to familiarize the commu-nity with the reporting laws. The worker assists in providing information to other agencies and local citizens to better help them understand the functions of the agency. This allows for better rapport that leads to better delivery of services and cooperation from other disciplines. Employee will participate in disaster related programs, including shelter duty, as needed. Other duties as assigned and required. In all duties outlined above, all forms of documentation required by the North Carolina Division of Social Services, North Carolina General Statutes, and Nash County Department of Social Services is included. J. Obtain at least 24 hours of training annually, after an initial training of 72 hours before assuming case responsibility. Section III: Other Position Characteristics Accuracy required in work Great precision is required in this work. The worker must correctly gather information to determine whether or not referrals meet the neglect/abuse laws; investigate each case according to standards to determine if neglect/abuse exists; correctly assess a child's safety needs; and continually assess a family during intervention to assist in alleviating problems which led to neglect/abuse. The worker must be able to meet state standards and assure compliance with CPS policy and best practice. Documentation, time reports, day sheets, and other state and county forms must be completed accurately and timely.
