Spectrum Human Services·Westland, Michigan
Provide therapeutic and case management services for youth up to age 16 within a residential juvenile justice program. Act as an advocate to help youth stabilize and build skills for independence using an evidence-based treatment model.
Social worker / Case manager – be the advocate who changes a life
Some young people face challenges far greater than childhood should ever hold—trauma, system involvement, emotional needs, developmental disabilities, disrupted family connections, and circumstances no child should have to navigate alone.
They need someone who sees their strength. Someone who believes in their potential. Someone who will walk beside them with compassion, consistency, and hope.
If this speaks to you, Spectrum invites you to bring your heart and your clinical skill to a role where you can uplift youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities and others who rely on you to show them what is possible.
----------------------------------------
As a Social Worker at Spectrum, you are a core member of our mental health treatment team, providing therapeutic and case management services for youth up to age 16 in our open residential juvenile justice program.
You will bring clinical insight, courage, and a trauma‑informed mindset to help youth stabilize, grow, and discover a sense of safety and possibility. Guided by an evidence‑based treatment model, you will help shape the future of young people who need steady, skilled, and compassionate support.
This role is more than service—it is service with purpose.
----------------------------------------
Your presence may be the turning point that supports a young person’s greatest transformation.

We believe in developing the people who care for others.

Our approach: Compassion, science, and strength
Spectrum uses a holistic, trauma‑informed, developmentally attuned model to meet each youth’s mental, physical, and emotional needs. Treatment is never one‑size‑fits‑all—every plan is guided by a thoughtful understanding of each youth’s unique risks, needs, strengths, culture, and lived experience.
You will help young people discover what stability feels like—and what hope looks like.
----------------------------------------
Your next step: Answer the call
The youth we serve are waiting for someone who sees beyond their challenges— someone who sees their potential, value, and future.
