Job Description

About the Role

SchoolHouse Staffing is hiring a School Social Worker to support a school district in the Chicago Heights area for the 2026–2027 school year. This is a full-time, 11-month contract position serving students in special education, working directly with IEP teams, families, and school staff to remove barriers to learning and connect students to the resources they need.

If you're a licensed School Social Worker looking for a placement with strong support, competitive pay, and a team that actually understands SPED staffing — we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

  • Conduct social-developmental case studies and participate in identifying students who need services
  • Provide direct services to students and serve as a liaison between home and school
  • Consult with IEP teams on behavior management, learning challenges, and program development
  • Write IEP goals for social work services and participate in eligibility/placement evaluations
  • Conduct home visits as needed to obtain consent for evaluations or initial placement
  • Connect students and families with community resources and outside agency support
  • Participate in preschool screenings, in-service trainings, and district social work meetings
  • Maintain accurate case records in compliance with district and legal requirements

Qualifications

  • Master of Social Work (MSW) from an accredited university
  • State certification/licensure as a School Social Worker (or eligible alternatives approved by the district)

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Dedicated SchoolHouse Staffing recruiter support throughout your placement
  • Weekly pay

Apply now — SchoolHouse Staffing specializes in placing SPED professionals (School Social Workers, BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, and Special Education Teachers) in districts nationwide. We move fast, communicate clearly, and advocate for our candidates every step of the way.
