DCS Chief of Staff John Ryan said in a press statement that the organization has increased their case management staff by hundreds over the past eight years, and now they need to add even more qualified professionals to their team. Though the organization currently employs roughly 1700 case management staff, they need to expand to deal with the ever-growing number of cases across the state.
On top of having a dedicated mindset to serving the public and a heart for children and families in crisis, qualified case managers must have at least a bachelor’s degree in social science discipline. The starting salary for a DCS family case manager is $35,776, reflecting a six percent increase that was recently approved to align with starting salaries in private sector social work.
