Social Workers and Human Services Professionals seek to improve the overall quality of life of people within the context of their environment through remediation and prevention of their problems, and by improving accessibility, accountability and coordination of service delivery among a variety of professionals and/or agencies tasked with providing appropriate services to clients. These professionals come from a variety of interdisciplinary bases, establish working relationships of mutual respect and trust with the clientele served, and utilize a variety of helping interventions to enable these clients to function as effectively as possible.

These positions are found in a variety of settings and work with diverse types of people. They may be found in hospitals and other health service agencies, social service agencies, schools, correctional facilities, and programs concerned with substance abuse, aging, and family violence.

Although work settings and clientele may differ, all human services professionals use similar professional concepts, principles, and techniques regardless of the program in which they work. Social Worker or Human Services Professional III positions are distinguished by the complexity of assigned cases and level of authority assumed by the worker.

Type A: Fully independent workers who provide the full range of core human services work, such as assessment of needs; development and implementation of service plans, which may include direct services; and monitoring, evaluating and making adjustments to service plans. Clients served represent the full range of cases within an agency's purview, including those with psychosocial, physical/medical, and environmental problems.

Type B: Do not function at the fully independent level. Most cases involve clients for whom it is difficult to determine or obtain appropriate services; clients may be hostile or resistant; or present significant complexities. Positions utilize established policies and procedures and casework skills and judgment to address routine aspects of casework, but due to the volatile nature of the cases, work will continue to be monitored by more experienced co‑workers or the supervisor.
