DESCRIPTION
Vulnerable adults in crisis need quick action from strong, compassionate individuals dedicated to ensuring their safety.

The Human Services Counselor III is responsible for the arrangement and/or the provision of services to eligible Adult Protective Services clients, living in the community or in state licensed facilities. The counselor provides case management for the following programs: CCDA (Community Care for Disabled Adults), HCDA (Home Care for Disabled Adults), Protective Intervention and Protective Supervision.
This work requires a high degree of tact, patience, and courtesy dealing with vulnerable adults. Incumbents in this class must be able to maintain a calm, professional demeanor while handling a variety of emergency and non-emergency calls. The work requires independent judgment and initiative to complete field assignments. Additionally, this work requires the ability to complete tasks and assignments with minimal direct supervision.
