      Eligibility Caseworkers typically are assigned one function (applications/intakes or reviews) and one program; however, sometimes they are responsible for multiple programs or functions. They may interact extensively or minimally with the client – in person or on the phone – depending on the program and function. Our caseworkers are a team of professionals focused on agency goals and outcomes, working in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines.

      We offer an excellent compensation and benefits package, to include 5% toward a 401k, and a sign-on bonus for these positions! Need we say more? Come see why others want to live, work, and play in Wake County!

      We want you to succeed! So, we provide intensive training for all of our caseworkers – (i.e., program, systems, etc.). Formal training normally lasts approximately 2 months from its start date. Training requires testing in some areas, with a passing grade expectation of normally 80% upon completion of the program. Additionally, you would be expected to attend at least 90% of our new hire training. Training is mandatory, in-person, and is provided to assist in your success as a new employee.
