Experience: Three (3) or more years of successful experience serving as a School Social Worker in a K-12 environment. Application Procedure: Apply online Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in a job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. We would encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of our qualifications described.
