As a case manager at Pawnee, you will be responsible for assessing the needs of children with severe emotional disturbances and developing a plan to enhance their functioning. You will also be responsible for coordinating treatment by identifying and establishing services with various community organizations. This position will require evening work; however, your schedule is up to you.

• Other Duties as Assigned
• Provide resources and education to families about mental illness
• Assist families with maintaining the benefits they need to successfully continue the rehabilitation process

The ideal candidate is reliable and trustworthy, (you will be expected to set and keep your own schedule after all!), and has a passion for working with children. They are also an excellent multitasker – someone who is organized and capable of bringing their own structure to a job. Finally, you will be working with high-needs children, so a proven ability to manage high-stress situations eloquently, tactfully, and professionally is required.
