Ongoing START Caseworker

Fairfield County, Ohio · Lancaster, OH · 3 wk ago
OTHR$26.63/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes salary (Pay) $26.63 hourly. It includes location but not schedule. Benefits: there is a "Benefits Description" but no details given; it's just heading "Benefits Description" then description of role? Actually after "DescriptionBenefits Description" seems like a formatting error: "DescriptionBenefits Description The Ongoing START Caseworker provides..." So there is no explicit benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits, just says "Benefits Description" then goes into role description. So we should not include Benefits. Pay: we have salary $26.63 hourly. So include Pay section. Schedule: not given. So omit. About the role: we have description of role (the paragraph after "DescriptionBenefits Description"). That is substantive. So include About the role. Responsibilities: we have Duties section with percentages and details. So include Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe Qualifications section. The posting has "Qualifications Minimum Qualifications ..." plus supplemental info about unusual working conditions etc. Could treat Qualifications as Requirements. Also there may be Skills? Not explicit. Could include Skills if we infer from duties? Better not to invent. So we will include Qualifications section. We also have location and job type etc. Those could be folded into a short

maybe under About the role or separate metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a

with location, job type, job number, department, division, opening/closing dates maybe. But we should not repeat job title as heading. We'll include a

after the heading? Probably before sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from duties, qualifications, etc. That's a lot. We need to format duties as list items maybe grouped by percentages? The duties are described with percentages and paragraphs. We can break into

    • each duty bullet. But we need to preserve all detail; we can include the percentages inside the li text. Similarly for qualifications: we need to include the minimum qualifications text verbatim. We also have supplemental information about unusual working conditions/hazards, employer info, address, phone, website. That is substantive; we could include under About the role or a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put under About the role or maybe under Requirements? Better to add a short

      after sections for employer info. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have:

      Location: 239 West Main Street, Lancaster 43130, OH. Job Type: Full-Time. Job Number: 00999. Department: JOB & FAMILY SERVICES. Division: Protective Services. Opening Date: 09/24/2026. Closing Date: 10/9/2026 11:59 PM Eastern.

      Then

      About the role

      with

      containing the description paragraph (the Ongoing START Caseworker provides specialized...). Then

      Responsibilities

      with
      • each duty bullet (including percentages and details). We need to split the Duties section into logical bullets. The Duties section is long with percentages and sentences. We could break at each sentence or each major duty. To preserve all detail, we can include each sentence as a li. Let's parse: Duties 45% Provides intensive services to a specialized ongoing caseload within the START (Sobriety, Treatment, and Reducing Trauma) program while adhering to all aspects of a traditional ongoing child welfare caseworker. The program is targeted at parents/caregivers who have co-occurring child maltreatment and substance use. The specialized position involves working closely with a START Family Peer Mentor (individual with lived experience) to support families affected by addiction challenges. Works jointly with behavioral health providers to ensure seamless and efficient delivery of intensive wrap-around services to START families. Assesses family needs and develops intervention plans to address addiction-related issues. Provides intensive ongoing case management which initially includes weekly contact with START participants, monitoring, and advocacy to promote family stability and safety. Ohio START case workers carry a caseload of no more than 10-12 START cases due to the intensive nature and face to face contact requirements to support the parent/caregiver’s work toward recovery. Works to assess the validity of complaints accepted according to the Department of Children and Youth (DCY) rules and agency policy of abuse, neglect, and dependency by conducting interviews of adults and children at various locations, completing assessments in the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS), gathering evidence, and working with community partners and/or collateral sources. Provides interventions to alleviate crises and reduce risks to children by engaging the family, community partners, and referring for service linkage. Establishes a family case plan with individualized goals and assesses progress on a routine basis; maintains contact with client, out of home placement, and interested parties and assesses progress of case plan; determines alternative treatment plans as necessary; provides crisis intervention case management as established by DCY Rule and Agency Policy. Attends/testifies at court hearings; attends and actively participates in administrative case reviews; performs planned and unplanned emergency removals and emergency placements; supervises visits with parents and transports children/adults. Is responsible for handling difficult and emergency cases and/or situations, during and after work hours, and makes referrals within Protective Services or to community partners for additional services to support the family. Required to travel throughout the state of Ohio and at times, throughout the United States, to complete mandates established by DCY. The duties of this position are considered high risk, high demand, and have significant unpredictability in daily tasks and require the need for flexibility. 30% Maintains case record documentation in SACWIS and the Electronic Data Management System (EDMS) (e.g., photos, audio/video recordings, activity logs, forms, written summaries, case plans, social history, and court documents) for supervisory approvals and agency record retention. 15% Assesses need for placement of children in substitute care when needed. Secure out-of- home care placement which best meets the child’s individual needs in a least restrictive and most home-like/appropriate setting. Utilizes and completes screening tools (UNCOPE, ACES, and CTAC) to screen for substance use and trauma. 10% Participate in required Ohio START trainings/meetings, ongoing training, supervisory/staff meetings, staff consultations and other related management support tasks. Participates in weekend and after hours on call coverage on a rotating basis. Assist with overflow case assignments and traditional ongoing cases by assessing the validity of complaints accepted according to DCY rules and agency policy of abuse, neglect, and dependency by conducting interviews of adults and children at various locations, completing assessments in the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS), gathering evidence, and working with community partners and/or collateral sources. Provides interventions to alleviate crises and reduce risks to children by engaging the family, community partners and referring for service linkage. Perform other duties as assigned. We could keep each percentage block as a li with its content. That preserves detail. Thus
        • 45% ... (all that text)
        • 30% ...
        • 15% ...
        • 10% ...
        Now Qualifications: we have "Minimum Qualifications Per Section 5153.112 Of The Ohio Revised Code, Applicants Of a Public Children Services Unit Must Have One Of The Following A bachelor’s degree in human services-related studies, or A bachelor’s degree in any field and have been employed for at least two years in a human services occupation, or An associate’s degree in human services-related studies, or Been employed for at least five years in a human service-related occupation. For employment to continue, a person described in Option 2, 3, or 4 above must obtain a job-related bachelor’s degree not later than five years after the date employment with the agency commences. Per Section 5153.122 of the Ohio Revised Code, each caseworker shall complete at least ninety hours of in-service training during the first year of the caseworker’s continuous employment, consisting of courses in recognizing and preventing child abuse and neglect, assessing risks, interviewing persons, investigating cases, intervening, providing services to children and their families, and other topics relevant to child abuse and neglect. After the first year of continuous employment, each caseworker annually shall complete thirty-six hours of training in areas relevant to the caseworker’s assigned duties. In addition, applicant must have a valid driver’s license." We can put that as
        • each bullet? It's a list of options separated by "or". Could break into separate li for each option. But we need to preserve all detail; we can keep as a single paragraph

          . However instruction: Use

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Qualifications is a list of requirements, so we should use
            • . We'll split each option as li. Options: - A bachelor’s degree in human services-related studies, - A bachelor’s degree in any field and have been employed for at least two years in a human services occupation, - An associate’s degree in human services-related studies, - Been employed for at least five years in a human service-related occupation. Then additional requirement: For employment to continue, a person described in Option 2, 3, or 4 above must obtain a job-related bachelor’s degree not later than five years after the date employment with the agency commences. Then training requirements: Per Section 5153.122 ... each caseworker shall complete at least ninety hours of in-service training during the first year ... etc. Then after first year ... each caseworker annually shall complete thirty-six hours of training ... Then In addition, applicant must have a valid driver’s license. We can make each of these as li. Now Supplemental Information Unusual Working Conditions/Hazards etc. This is substantive; we could include under About the role as a

              after the description, or maybe under a separate heading like "Working Conditions". Not in allowed headings list, but we could fold into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably best to add a

              after About the role describing unusual working conditions etc. Also employer info (address, phone, website) we already included in metadata p. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. Now Pay section:

              Pay

              $26.63 hourly

              Schedule: not present, omit. Benefits: not present, omit. Now ensure we output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We'll start with metadata p. Then

              About the role

              ...

              Then maybe another p for unusual working conditions? Could add after About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive information: the unusual working conditions/hazards text. Let's include that as a

              after About the role. Then Responsibilities. Then Qualifications. Then Pay. Now check for any other substantive info: "Employer Fairfield County Ohio Address 210 E. Main Street Lancaster, Ohio, 43130 Phone 740-652-7880 Website https://www.co.fairfield.oh.us/" Already included in metadata p maybe. We included location from job posting (239 West Main Street
