Caseworker - SCL

At LSI, your journey is our passion! Our Services for People with Disabilities team is searching for dedicated, compassionate hourly part‑time (10‑23 hrs/wk, 24‑29 hrs/wk, or 30+ hrs/wk)
Caseworkers in the Dubuque area. The Iowans we serve are seeking a life of greater confidence and independence, and it's our privilege to empower them toward success every day.

As one of Iowa’s most trusted human services agencies, LSI has a legacy of serving children, adults, and families for more than 160 years. Our Services for People with Disabilities wrap care around individuals across the state, from providing occasional respite care or weekly services, to 24/7 support in a shared apartment environment or one‑on‑one care through our Supported Community Living (SCL) program.

You can make a direct impact on the lives of the Iowans we are privileged to serve.

As an hourly SCL Caseworker
, you will work with children and some adults with intellectual disabilities or chronic mental illness. Your responsibilities include providing support, assistance, and instruction in learning independent living skills such as:

• Money management
• Socialization
• Cooking
• Personal hygiene

You will encourage individuals to be involved in their community, understand outcome‑based performance measures, and develop Individualized Service Plans that are functional and reflect each client’s personal goals. The position is flexible with a flexible schedule; it is part‑time but may lead to a full‑time role once your caseload is built. There are no weekend shifts; you will work with adults during the day and after‑school hours with children.
