Primary Accountabilities- Administering the Child and Family Services Act and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Children, Youth, and Families (FNIM) Act by developing case plans and participating in court interventions as required.
- Acting on behalf of the Minister of Community Services to make decisions on the care of children at risk through risk assessment case conferences with Child Protection Social Workers and Program Specialists.
- Working with families and children in high-stress situations, focusing on child safety and family reunification.
- Leading your team and providing consultation, and supervision on cases, policies, and protocols.
- Ensuring adherence to procedures, solving complex cases, and overseeing high-risk case management, including intake, assessment, and planning for child protection and children in care.
- Identifying and recommending improvements in services and implementing the Child and Family Wellbeing Practice framework.
- Building effective relationships with colleagues, departments, and community organizations to ensure positive outcomes for children and families.
Completion of a Bachelor of Social Worker and at least five (5) years of related work experience, is required; or completion of a Master of Social Work and at least three (3) years of related experience. You must have a valid driver's licence, have the ability to travel, and you must be registered (or be eligible for registration) with the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers (NSCSW)
