🌟 WE’RE HIRING — CASE MANAGER EXTRAORDINAIRE! 🌟

Grass-roots, family-focused, and fiercely passionate about supporting foster families.

Mareas Therapeutic Services is growing, and we’re looking for someone special to join our Foster Care team!

This isn’t your average 9–5 job. It’s meaningful, dynamic, and full of moments that remind you why you got into this field in the first place.

As a Case Manager, you’ll be the primary support for foster families and children in care , building relationships, coordinating services, attending meetings, and advocating your heart out.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

✨ Someone who gets child protection — experience working with or alongside CAS is a must
✨ A flexible, fluid thinker who can juggle multiple hats (seriously, some days you’re a coordinator, advocate, coach, and crisis problem-solver all before lunch)
✨ A genuine love for working with children and diverse family dynamics
✨ Comfort navigating a system that can be frustrating, while staying creative, calm, and solution-focused
✨ Strong organizational skills + the ability to work independently on work-from-home days
✨ A team mentality — we collaborate, consult, and communicate consistently as a clinical group

🌱 What makes working with a small agency amazing?

Flexibility. Family focus. Real relationships.
We meet families where they’re at — literally and figuratively — and we advocate hard to make sure every child feels supported, safe, and seen.

📌 This role includes:
✔ Providing administrative and therapeutic support to foster families
✔ Liaising with CAS workers, schools, and community partners
✔ Coordinating plans of care and documenting case information
✔ After-Hours Phone Coverage- 1 week per month
✔ Attending team meetings, training, and (yes) after-hours on-call rotation about one week per month

If you can adapt to change, maintain professionalism and empathy under pressure, and approach challenges with creativity — we definitely want to hear from you.

Let’s support children, uplift families, and create lasting change — together. 💛
