School-Based Social Worker - Lapeer, Michigan

Soliant

Job Description

Job Description

Make an impact as a dedicated school social worker serving 4th and 5th-grade students in a supportive, collaborative environment. This full-time contract opportunity is ideal for those passionate about fostering positive change through special education, general education support, and innovative interventions.

You’ll focus on a manageable caseload of approximately 15 special education students within a close-knit elementary building of 195 learners. Your expertise will drive both individual support and small group intervention—empowering at-risk students, collaborating on restorative practices, and helping all children reach their fullest potential.

Qualifications:

  • Valid Michigan Social Worker license (LARA)
  • Approval for schools practice through the Michigan Department of Education (MDE)
  • Prior experience with school social work, ideally in elementary or special education settings
  • Strong understanding of restorative practices and evidence-based interventions
  • Exceptional communication, collaboration, and organizational skills
  • Passion for serving both special education and general population students

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide direct social work services to a small caseload of special education students
  • Collaborate with teachers, administrators, and families to create and implement student support plans
  • Facilitate small intervention groups for at-risk students, focusing on social-emotional growth and academic success
  • Champion restorative practices and help mediate student conflicts where needed
  • Maintain diligent records, progress reports, and compliance documentation
  • Advocate for student well-being and promote a positive, inclusive school climate

Enjoy a consistent weekday schedule: 8:35am to 3:30pm, perfect for balancing work and personal commitments. Your role will be critical in promoting resilience, belonging, and positive outcomes for both individual students and the broader school community.

If you’re ready to make a direct, meaningful difference in students’ lives while expanding your expertise, apply now to take the next step in your school social work career!
