Caseworker Intern

Jefferson County Division of Children, Youth, Families, and Adult Protection’s mission statement is to promote the safety, well-being and permanency for children, youth, adults, and families. With this mission in mind, the internship program at Jefferson County Children, Youth, Families and Adult Protection is designed to establish a network of support for the casework interns.

The primary goal of our program is to prepare you for a career in child protection. As a Casework Intern, you will have the opportunity to shadow other caseworkers in other program areas and sections, in addition to your assigned section, so that you can get a well- rounded experience. Eventually, you will be assigned a case or two where you will also be able to use group supervision for case consultation around practice issues. We will do additional training to prepare you for a career in social work. These topics include but are not limited to orientation to the agency, domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health, sexual abuse, interviewing for caseworker positions, as well as completing Transfer of Learning requirements. Our agency is very committed to our internship program and views our interns as a valuable resource for our agency and families. 

Due to State requirements and the funding of these positions, only candidates who are enrolled in an accredited social work program that have a program requirement to complete an internship will be considered. *Must have access to vehicle and have a valid driver’s license.
