Case Worker

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements...). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should not create extra headings inside the responsibilities section; just list items. Thus we need to extract each responsibility sentence. Let's parse: Foster Placement Specific Responsibilities: - All placement services from the time a child is placed through a child’s final day of care with Connected. Including: - Placement in an appropriate Connected Foster Home per policy. - Meet with foster parents/placement providers to assess the provider and clients’ needs to address any concerns at least monthly. - Facilitating and participating in case “staffings”: both internal and held by external providers. - Attend court hearings as approved by your supervisor. - Establish necessary services for clients as part of a team with the clients’ foster placement, therapy providers, and other providers to meet client’s needs in a timely manner. - Plan and calendar a minimum of 1 face-to-face visit per month for each assigned client in the client’s placement. - Assist with visitation plan for client(s) and biological or adoptive family according to policy. - Serve as the primary point of contact for any and all placement changes including new placements in, discharges out, and disruptions from the home. - Maintain all child client files for compliance in the electronic record system.

Foster Home Specific Responsibilities: - Assessment of applicant families to meet licensing requirements and alignment with agency mission. This is to include all necessary documentation to license or re-evaluate a resource family. - Completion of home study within 90 days of application and on-going evaluations are required. - Facilitate and assist teaching resource parent ongoing service training classes as needed. - Serve as the primary point of contact for any and all placement changes including new placements in, discharges out, and disruptions from the home. - Placement Focused Services - Prepare and coach families through their initial placement as new resource families. - Establish a trust-based relationship with resource families on assigned caseload to know the strengths, weaknesses, and needs of families in order to advise placement decisions. - Remain aware of placement vacancies in assigned homes and provide updates to supervisors, as requested. - Responsible for filling vacant beds in assigned resource families within the families’ preferences or needs. - Maintain files for compliance for all “family” files in the electronic record system.

We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "employee handbook" etc? That's part of overview, fine. We must not include duplicated lines. Some lines repeat like "Serve as the primary point of contact for any and all placement changes..." appears twice (in placement and foster home). We should keep only one instance? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate identical sentences. Let's identify duplicates: - "Serve as the primary point of contact for any and all placement changes including new placements in, discharges out, and disruptions from the home." appears in Foster Placement Specific Responsibilities and Foster Home Specific Responsibilities. Keep one. - "Timely completion of all case activity according to licensing and policy due dates." appears multiple times (placement, foster home). Keep one. - "24 business hour turnaround for client contact notes." appears multiple times. Keep one. - "Establish and implement resource family CEU trainings in partnership with the Connected Team to meet a minimum required per year for each assigned home." appears only once. - "Completion of home study within 90 days of application and on-going evaluations are required." appears once. - "Assessment of applicant families to meet licensing requirements and alignment with agency mission. This is to include all necessary documentation to license or re-evaluate a resource family." appears once. - "Facilitate and assist teaching resource parent ongoing service training classes as needed." appears once. - "Placement Focused Services" maybe a heading but we can treat as part of list? Might be a subsection heading; we could keep as a list item? It's not a responsibility itself but a heading. Might be better to omit as it's just a label. But we could keep as a list item? The instruction: use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should not include headings inside list. So we should drop "Placement Focused Services" as a separate line; but the following bullet points are responsibilities under that. We'll keep those bullet points. - "Maintain files for compliance for all “family” files in the electronic record system. This includes: Responsibility for all compliance items for assigned resource families." This is a bit weird; we keep as is. - "Maintain all child client files for compliance in the electronic record system. This includes: placement packet, assessment, case plan, visitation plan, plan of safe care, all placement documents, monthly note share and record request, and any on-going paperwork." Keep. - "Prepare and coach families through their initial placement as new resource families." Keep. - "Establish a trust-based relationship with resource families on assigned caseload to know the strengths, weaknesses, and needs of families in order to advise placement decisions." Keep. - "Remain aware of placement vacancies in assigned homes and provide updates to supervisors, as requested." Keep. - "Responsible for filling vacant beds in assigned resource families within the families’ preferences or needs." Keep. - "Develop and Coordinate volunteer opportunities." Keep. - "Assist the Team in developing and executing one significant well-planned regional fundraiser per year." Keep. - "Work peer caseloads during absences, vacations, or vacancies as needed." Keep. - "Caseworkers work on a team with all other positions on the Connected team. This position is expected to work closely with their supervisor and other Caseworkers." Keep. - "Participate in the agency-wide on-call rotation and/or training of foster parent applicants throughout the year." Keep. - "Provide crisis de-escalation for clients as necessary." Keep. - "Participate in supervision with your direct supervisor as scheduled to discuss casework, Key Performance Indicators (KPI), and provide necessary case details as requested." Keep. - "Complete annual required Continuing Education Units (CEUs) of 24 hours per year and submit to supervisor for review." Keep. - "Provide excellent communication to all members of the team both internal and external as appropriate." Keep. - "Respond to email, voicemail, Microsoft Teams, and communication within a reasonable time frame." Keep. - "The Caseworker position is expected to provide 40 hours or more per week including evenings and weekends as needed." Keep. - "Respond to, engage with, and document assigned inquiries within 1 business day." Keep. - "Engage with local churches to recruit potential Connected foster families and support systems within the churches that Connected foster families attend." Keep. - "Coordinate with local teams to ensure appropriate foster family needs are met in a timely manner." Keep. Now also need to include the initial overview paragraph as About the role. Let's craft HTML:
