Case Workers

What Does a Caseworker Do?

Caseworkers are dedicated professionals who work closely with individuals and families, managing their cases in a way that successfully connects them with various forms of assistance and social services.

You’ll find that caseworkers come from a variety of academic and disciplinary backgrounds including social work, healthcare and human services. This often helps determine the type of caseload they carry, as well as the kind of agency or organization for which they work.

Caseworkers meet with clients to whom they’re assigned, develop an understanding of that client’s specific circumstances, assess what services are available and create a plan for moving ahead in a way that will best resolve the client’s needs.
