This role is competitive because it requires a current Social Worker license, at least two years of experience, and a Bachelor’s in Social Work, with a Master’s preferred; the listed benefits include health, dental, vision, PTO, and 401(k) matching. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits carefully on this platform to save time, then confirm your licensure and experience match before applying.
