ABOUT ARCHULETA COUNTY:

Located in the Colorado Sunbelt, Archuleta County is home to Pagosa Springs, just 35 miles north of the New Mexico border. The region features a unique climate, thanks to its high desert plateau and proximity to the Rocky Mountains.

A DAY IN THE ROLE OF A CASEWORKER II

Caseworkers operate under direct supervision while acquiring essential skills and knowledge. Regular meetings with supervisors provide guidance, and significant decisions are made with their oversight. All documentation is subject to supervisory review. Caseworkers deliver case management services across various programs within the Department of Human Services, including:

  • Conducting initial intake and ongoing case management with supervisor assistance.

This position requires a foundational understanding of social casework principles relevant to assigned program areas. As experience is gained, employees will take on more responsibilities and independently deliver basic casework services.
