  • Conduct assessments, maintain detailed documentation, and participate in IEP and intervention meetings
  • Support crisis intervention and deliver evidence-based counseling strategies
  • Develop and implement programs that foster a positive, inclusive school climate
  • Advocate for student needs and connect families to necessary community resources

Desired experience and qualifications:

  • Hold a valid Illinois SSW license and Professional Educator License (PEL)
  • Previous school-based experience working with elementary-age students
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build relationships with diverse school communities
  • Able to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
  • Exceptional organizational and communication skills
  • Committed to maintaining confidentiality and supporting ethical practices

Enjoy a consistent onsite schedule Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 3:35 PM, allowing you to truly engage with students and staff throughout the school day. Benefit from professional development opportunities and the chance to make a daily impact in one close-knit elementary community.

This position is available immediately, with the contract running through November 4th, 2026—and the potential to continue beyond. If you're an experienced, credentialed school social worker ready to inspire and empower students, apply today to make a difference where it matters most.
