“Working in children services is more than just a job,” Governor Mike DeWine said. “It offers the opportunity to go home each night knowing you’re making someone’s life better.”

The role of a Children Services Caseworker has many parts to it such as:

  • Investigating reports of child abuse.
  • Working with families to create safer environments to care for children.
  • Help reunify foster youth with their birth families.
  • Help foster youth find adoptive homes.

Along with multimedia advertising across the state, the campaign also created a new landing page on their website, OhioMeansJobs.ohio.gov/ChildrenServices, in an attempt to make it easier to find jobs in children services, the release said.

Approximately $1 million was committed to the campaign by ODJFS to focus on jobs with local public children services agencies, (PCSA’s) the spokesperson said. Ohio PCSA’s serve all counties across the state by providing services to children and families.
