Our child well-being programs offer fulfilling and challenging career opportunities for individuals who have a passion for working with children and families involved in child welfare. We are committed to creating an environment for staff to build experiences and skills for a career versus a job. We continuously try to evolve in how we support staff.
Currently we are offering the following experiences for staff:
- Various forms of coaching for new hires into the Family Case Management, Intensive In-Home and Family Support programs
- A supervisor/worker ratio of 1:6
- Leadership development and mentoring for staff interested in expanding their career opportunities — 84% of leadership/supervisor hired in the program since 2010 have been internal hires
- Educational assistance including:
- Tuition assistance for staff to put toward a degree program for any position at Children's Wisconsin
- Opportunities to participate in University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's part-time Title IV-E program, allowing staff to earn their master's degree in Social Work while working
