Job Description

Benefits :

As an Intensive Permanency Services Worker , youll play a central role in helping youth in foster care reconnect with family and achieve permanency. Carrying a small caseload of 89 youth referred by DCF, youll walk alongside young people as they identify caring adults, strengthen family connections, and build long-term stability.

This is not a traditional case management or in-home therapy role. Instead, IPS workers use Plummers Permanency Practice Model grounded in youth-guided, family-driven teaming, Family Search and Engagement, and Permanency Readiness to ensure every young person has a safe, stable, and emotionally secure family.

You will be part of a supportive team with strong supervision, training, and professional development, all while receiving excellent benefits including 100% employer-paid medical and dental insurance .

What Youll Do

  • Meet with each youth at intake to introduce the permanency focus of IPS and engage them in their own planning.
  • Partner with youth to identify family members, parents, and other caring adults they want to connect or reconnect with.
  • Use Family Search & Engagement strategies to locate and involve relatives in permanency planning.
  • Actively participate in DCF consults, Safety Parameter Meetings, and Team Meetings to build strong support networks.
  • Guide youth through Permanency Readiness work : clarifying life events, understanding their foster care journey, and preparing for reunification or alternate family care.
  • Facilitate Youth-Guided, Family-Driven Teaming , ensuring natural supports drive planning and decision-making.
  • Help youth build skills for readiness to live with family and in the community.
  • Educate stakeholders on the importance of permanency and collaborate across systems to remove barriers.
  • Develop team meeting agendas and permanency-focused treatment plans; document all work in APRICOT and Virtual Gateway.
  • Complete quarterly progress reviews, written progress notes, and facilitate youth guided, family-driven Team Meetings at required intervals.
  • Participate in permanency consults, foster care reviews, and court hearings as needed.

    • What You Bring

  • Bachelors degree required; Masters degree and licensure (LSWA / LSW / LICSW / LMHC) preferred.
  • Eligible for LSW within 60 days of hire.
  • At least 3 years of experience working with children and families in child welfare (social work, case management, clinical services, therapeutic mentoring, or family partnering).
  • Strong skills in authentically engaging youth and families.
  • Knowledge of DCF regulations, policies, and permanency practices.
  • Excellent organizational, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Bilingual Spanish strongly preferred.
  • Valid drivers license, proof of insurance, reliable vehicle, and ability to ascend / descend stairs.

    • Competencies We Value

  • Communication : Clear, transparent, and strengths-based communication with youth, families, and partners.
  • Conflict Management : Focuses on problem-solving and collaboration, even in challenging situations.
  • Initiative & Drive : Proactive in advancing permanency goals and overcoming barriers.
  • Documentation : Accurate, timely, and clinically appropriate use of APRICOT and Virtual Gateway.
  • Practice Excellence : Skilled in Family Search & Engagement, Permanency Readiness, and Youth-Guided Teaming.
  • Equity & Belonging : Engages youth and families with honesty, respect, and cultural responsiveness.
  • Teamwork : Works collaboratively with colleagues and stakeholders; celebrates successes together.

    • Why Join Us?

  • 100% Employer-Paid Medical and Dental Insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Paid time off and parental leave
  • Training & development opportunities
  • Wellness resources
  • Flexible work-from-home options
  • A mission-driven culture where every youth deserves a family

    • This is more than a job its a chance to transform lives by helping youth stay home, go home or find home!

    Flexible work from home options available.
