Senior Clinical Social Worker (School/Community Based) (HELP Program) Updated 01/02/25.

This work involves the responsibility for the clinical assessment and intervention of students with social, emotional and other difficulties related with their mental illness. An incumbent works within a school setting on a regular basis. Wide leeway is permitted in determining the scope of work to be performed within prescribed guidelines in assisting the student towards improved functioning both intra-psychically and interpersonally. This class differs from that of Clinical Social Worker due to the ability to work independently, carrying a more complex caseload under minimal supervision. Employees in this class are expected to meet with professionals of agencies in or outside of the community to obtain assistance and guidance for students and their families. The work is performed under the general supervision of a Supervising Social Worker and/or Program Director who may define or limit the work to be performed. The position serves as a vital resource within a school district or community-based program. As such, an incumbent will interact with school administrators and community program directors. The classification may direct the work activities of subordinate staff. Unless otherwise specified, employment is year-round. When school is not in session, an incumbent will provide client services in the agency’s clinic settings. Does related work as required.
