We have multiple openings for both Social Workers and School Psychologist across multiple campuses. Apply  here  and we can match you with the best opening. THE CHALLENGE Are you up for the work as a school social worker that is both difficult and worthwhile? Do you want to make a positive, lasting difference in children’s lives? OVERVIEW OF ROLE STRIVE Preparatory Schools (STRIVE) is a Denver-based community of K-12 public charter schools that challenges every student to strive for college and thrive throughout life by helping them develop the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to succeed in college and beyond. The school social worker will help students as they face an assortment of challenges at three of our schools, from middle through high school. The school social worker will work directly with children and adolescents; support students with mental health needs by providing counseling, skill instruction, and learning and support plans; assess and evaluate individual differences to identify intervention strategies; and work collaboratively with parents, teachers, and community supports to support children’s success to ultimately help students thrive at home, in school, and in life. THE MUST HAVES Do the following must haves resonate with how you are wired and demonstrable in your unique talents and experiences? If so, we invite you to apply and can’t wait to learn more about you!   You are a critical thinker:   Part of what makes the work so challenging—and rewarding—is the fact that you will be constantly encountered with unique situations that will require you to be flexible while solutions-oriented.  That’s why critical thinking skills are very important in social work. After identifying the nature of the problems experienced by their students, social workers use critical and creative thinking to develop practical solutions. Social workers use logic, analysis, kindness, and creativity to identify the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and find a solution for each case.  Social workers must make important decisions based on a thorough understanding of the student’s needs and situation, the available resources, and applicable law and policies. Without this important skill, a social worker might miss clues, overlook opportunities, or act on personal bias. You have a developed sense of empathy:   Understanding others intellectually, culturally, and emotionally is important. Empathy is the ability to imagine yourself in someone else’s situation, and then be able to understand what that person may be experiencing. Empathizing is both an intellectual and emotional process that makes it far easier to understand and help others work through their problems and develop their deficits. Having empathy helps social workers develop strong relationships with the students and families and determine the best possible solution based on their unique experiences and circumstances. You are an effective communicator:   Social workers must be able to communicate in many different ways and with many different people every day.  You will need to be able to express yourself with clarity to a wide variety of people in a diversity of contexts and having strong written and verbal communications skills is an absolute must.  Good communication skills help social workers have difficult conversations with people in the midst of challenging life circumstances and emotional stress.  Important communication skills that show you are engaged in the conversation and genuinely care about hearing what the other person has to say are validation, affirmation, and active listening. In addition,  as the voice of their students, social workers routinely advocate on behalf of the individuals, groups, and families they serve. Advocacy involves speaking out and acting in the best interest of others. You are organized:   Social workers are often required to deal with busy schedules, heavy caseloads and large amounts of paperwork. Successfully managing and prioritizing the logistical aspects of the job can help you maximize the amount of time you’ll have on your schedule to provide meaningful services to your students. The ability to prioritize which work is required to be done in which order is extremely important. Related to organizational skills, social workers must also have strong time-management practices.
