We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Social Worker to join our team.

Position Summary

This position assesses problems and capabilities of assigned persons in our care; formulates case plans; monitors progress; provides counseling; and develops and refers them to appropriate institution and community resources upon transfer or release. Some of the tasks are governed by Administrative Rules, Department of Corrections and/or Institution mandates.

In addition, treatment efforts are coordinated with other institution and unit staff, parole agents, family members and/or community resources. A Social Worker Credential from the Wisconsin DSPS is required to be considered.

This position will normally be on site. This position is FLSA Exempt. A twelve-month probationary period is required.

Candidates with no prior permanent employment with the State of Wisconsin in the past 5 years may be eligible to accept a sign-on bonus of $2,000. The sign-on bonus will be paid in two installments: $1000 on the first paycheck and $1000 with the paycheck for the pay period in which the employee attains permanent status (usually 1 year). (UW System employment isn’t disqualifying.)

To receive the bonus, a candidate must sign an agreement indicating they will remain in that position for a year. If the candidate leaves their position prior to completing the one year, they may be required to reimburse the initial payment.
