Caseworker Duties and Responsibilities
Caseworkers advocate for the people under their care. They try to understand each situation and provide useful ways of solving problems. While actions will vary by the nature of the Caseworker’s specific position, here are some of the core responsibilities we’ve uncovered from looking at multiple job postings:
Follow Organizational Protocol Organizations have specific ways of doing things, often following government regulations. Caseworkers must know procedures and follow them. They complete necessary paperwork to serve as documentation and as a point of reference for the future.
Coordinate Client Care Helping people often involves input from several different sources. Caseworkers look at all this input and make it work together for the good of the client. For instance, a teenager in a mental health program may have appointments with doctors, family counseling sessions and work to complete for school. A Caseworker would make sure the client is showing up for each thing and see where conflicts might occur.
Write Client Reports Caseworkers write reports on how action plans are working out. They note details such as when someone is released from a substance abuse program, when he or she is expected to check in and how the person is faring back at home. Caseworkers also may be called upon to provide information to others in places such as court or school.
Provide References to Services People may not realize the various options available to help with a problem. A family struggling to make ends meet, for example, may not be aware of things such as free lunch programs, immunization clinics, reduced-cost childcare or child tax credits. Caseworkers look at their needs and point out groups and programs that offer assistance.
Caseworker Skills
Caseworkers tend to be patient, empathetic people capable of interacting with a wide variety of people who are facing challenges. They are caring problem-solvers dedicated to improving the lives of others. Other qualities that good Caseworkers possess include:
- Being respectful and non-judgmental regardless of circumstance
- Multitasking to handle the demands of various cases at the same time
- Communicating clearly for clients to understand what is going on and their options
- Listening to get a clearer picture of what truly needs to be done
- Remaining calm in the face of stress and obstacles
- Following through projects from start to finish
