SUPERVISOR - FOSTER CARE

Every year, children in Washtenaw County and surrounding areas need safe homes and steady advocates. As a Foster Care Supervisor, you won’t just manage a program, you’ll lead the team of Case Managers who make sure children, birth parents, and foster families receive the support they need to become whole families again.

• Step in to carry a case load when staffing needs require.
• Share rotating on‑call coverage with the Child Welfare team for 24/7 crisis response (about one week a month, with additional compensation)

• 2+ years of supervisory experience: foster care experience preferred, other child welfare experience considered.
• Master's degree strongly preferred; BSW with CWTI training and significant experience will be considered.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a track record of engaging clients, partners, and staff effectively.
• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation for travel within a 100-mile radius (mileage reimbursed).
