Job Description

Recognizing the value in self-care and work-life balance, Bridges Homeward operates on a 33.5 hour work week

P URPOSE: The Social Worker is a member of the Comprehensive Foster Care Program team serving children and youth who are in the custody of the Department of Children and Families. The Social Worker provides direct clinical and case management services to children in foster care placement, provides support to foster families in coordination with the Family Resource Worker, and support's the youth and their team on locating and strengthening permanent connection.

The Agency: Founded in 1873, Bridges Homeward has evolved over time into a group of dynamic, highly dedicated, mission driven professionals meeting the current needs of the Greater Boston community.
