Job DescriptionJob Description

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



PURPOSE: The Social Worker is a member of the Intensive Foster Care Program team serving children and youth who are in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.

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.

Sometimes, permanency in our work means making sure a child can remain with their biological family; sometimes it means ensuring someone with a developmental disability can live with family instead of having to move to an institutional setting; sometimes it means finding a child in foster care a forever family and for other youth it means having a safe, secure parenting relationship with a supportive adult. Bridges Homeward welcome staff with lived experience in one of our area of expertise. Join our supportive team environment today
