CLASS CHARACTERISTICS Social Worker I: This is the entry-level classification in the Adult Services Social Worker series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and provide basic social services case management. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level perform most of the duties required of the positions as the Social Worker II but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Positions in this class are expected to manage caseloads involving physically, sexually, and emotionally abused and/or neglected dependents and/or elder adults. Social Worker II: This is the journey-level classification in the Adult Services Social Worker series.

Positions in this class are expected to manage caseloads involving physically, sexually, and emotionally abused and/or neglected dependents and/or elder adults. Social Worker III: This is the advanced level classification in the Adult Services Social Worker series responsible for performing more complex cases assigned to the series. Positions at this level exercise judgment and initiative in their assigned tasks and handle more difficult, sensitive and specialized cases and decisions are made where consequence of error may be significant. This class requires advanced casework skills, a high degree of program knowledge, judgement, and creativity. Positions in this class are expected to manage caseloads involving physically, sexually, and emotionally abused and/or neglected dependents and/or elder adults. This class is distinguished from the Social Worker IV class in that the latter is expected to lead lower-level staff and manage the most complex cases requiring the highest level of skill.
