Social Workers are licensed professionals who provide case management services to children, families, vulnerable adults with intellectual, developmental, physical disabilities, serious mental illness, and older adults (collectively referred to as "vulnerable adults") and other individuals within local communities and institutions.

The Nevada DIVISION OF CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES (DCFS) is recruiting for a Social Work Supervisor 2 located in Elko, NV. Incumbents function as first-line supervisors who train, supervise and evaluate the performance of assigned staff; assign and review work; and initiate disciplinary action. Under general direction of a Social Services Manager III, Social Work Supervisor II's supervise a unit of Social Worker's engaged in case management having a high proportion of complex and sensitive case work needs in child protective services, foster care and adoptions. Incumbents assign work, provide training, complete performance evaluations and administer appropriate performance counseling when necessary. They routinely review and monitor cases requiring the application of advanced principles of the social work profession, and case planning directives affect critically and chronically dysfunctional families and children whose welfare is at high risk. Supervisors at this level regularly arbitrate conflicts and discrepancies of a sensitive and volatile nature including, but not limited to, families, the court system, foster parents, schools, and law enforcement officials where a consensus regarding the appropriate course of action may be difficult to obtain. Incumbents may formulate policies, procedures and guidelines for the program assigned and participate in budget preparation by making recommendations regarding staffing, travel, and program needs.
