Bilingual Case Manager - Intact Family Services- Children's Home & Aid- Joliet, IL

Children’s Home & Aid provides services grounded in the belief that the best place for children to grow up is in a family, and the most effective way to ensure children’s safety, permanency, and well-being is to provide services that engage, involve, strengthen, and support families. The Intact Family Services Case Manager works with families (many of whom speak Spanish) who have an indicated report of abuse or neglect and are at risk of having their children removed from the home.

We take pride in working collaboratively with the individuals, agencies, and institutions that play an important role in a family’s life situation. Being family-focused means we meet and support families where they are in life, and join with them to identify and build on their strengths - all aimed at supporting families in providing their children with safe, loving homes.
