Planner Jobs

Children’s Aid’s Enhanced Family Foster Care program places children with supportive families in their own neighborhoods when their parents cannot provide the stability, safety, and support they need. The program serves a wide range of child welfare situations, from temporary placements intended to support reunification to specialized foster homes for children with chronic medical or developmental conditions or trauma-related needs. The program provides training to support individuals in these roles. The Case Planner works with a multidisciplinary team that includes therapists, education specialists, and social workers. The role manages a caseload of approximately 10 children with varied mental health needs and provides intensive casework and fieldwork services to children and their birth and foster families, with the goal of achieving permanency as quickly as possible. The position also connects children and families with agency and community treatment resources and uses the CONNECTIONS child welfare computer system. The incumbent is expected to work a schedule, in person or hybrid, as determined by department needs to support collaboration and effective operations. Position requirements may be reviewed and adjusted periodically based on organizational needs and changes in work dynamics.
