Relief Family Support Worker

Make Your Work Matter-Every Day

Relief Family Support Worker (Case Manager - Multi-Program)

Outreach Support Services | MDHHS Programs

This isn't just a job. It's a calling.

If you became a social worker to make a real difference-to step into difficult situations, support families in crisis, and help children find stability-this role was built for you.

At Spectrum, we're looking for compassionate, driven professionals who are ready to show up where they're needed most. As a Relief Family Support Worker, you won't be confined to just one program-you'll be a critical part of multiple service lines, ensuring that no family goes without support when it matters most.

What You'll Do (And Why It Matters)

You'll step into a true case manager role, working directly with children, youth, and families navigating complex challenges. Your work will span multiple MDHHS-funded programs-giving you broad experience and the opportunity to impact lives in a meaningful way.

In this role, you will:

• Carry a diverse caseload across programs like family preservation, parenting time, and juvenile justice services
• Provide hands-on support through home visits, community-based services, and supervised parenting time
• Guide families toward stability through coaching, skill-building, and connection to resources
• Ensure continuity of care, stepping in when families need support most
• Partner with courts, schools, and MDHHS, advocating for your clients every step of the way
• Document and track progress, helping measure outcomes and drive positive change

Every interaction is an opportunity-to stabilize a home, to support a parent, to change a child's trajectory.

Who You Are

You're more than qualified-you're committed.

• You hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Psychology, Human Services, or a related field
• You have experience working with at-risk youth and families
• You're adaptable, resilient, and comfortable managing multiple cases and priorities
• You can build trust quickly while maintaining professional boundaries
• You're just as comfortable in the field as you are documenting your work
• You believe in meeting families where they are-without judgment

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a single-program position. It's an opportunity to:

• Expand your clinical and case management skills across multiple service models
• Gain exposure to court-involved, prevention, and family support services
• Be part of a team that values flexibility, collaboration, and mission-driven work
• Make a broader impact by serving families across different systems-not just one

No two days are the same-and that's exactly the point.

What You'll Need

• Valid Michigan driver's license and reliable transportation
• Flexibility to work some evenings/weekends
• A commitment to ethical practice, documentation accuracy, and client-centered care

The Impact You'll Have

This role is for professionals who want to be on the front lines of change-not behind a desk, not removed from the work, but actively walking alongside families as they rebuild, recover, and move forward.

You will see the difference you make-in real time.
