Description
Social Worker-FCS and Social Worker Advanced-FCS are assigned exclusively to the Social Services Department’s Family and Children’s Services (FCS) Divisions and provide critical, high-impact services to children, youth, and families experiencing abuse, neglect, or crisis situations. Work is complex, fast-paced, and often court-involved, requiring strong judgment and sound decision-making with significant consequences for error.


Under general direction, incumbents perform a full range of social work duties including emergency response, investigations, assessment, case management, family maintenance, reunification, permanency planning, placement services, extended foster care, and related assignments as directed. Responsibilities include preparing court reports with recommendations and participating in court proceedings as required.

This role requires on-call and call-back availability.

Current vacancies are located in Ukiah and Willits. The eligible list established from this recruitment may be used for a limited time to fill full-time, part-time, regular, and promotional opportunities throughout the County as they arise.
