Applications/resumes are accepted by the Lucas County Children Services Personnel Department throughout the year, during recruitment career fairs, by people applying in person, and in response to ads/announcements.

A prescreen rating system is applied to all casework applications. Applications are evaluated according to educational background and work experience (both paid and volunteer).

Top candidates are scheduled into a testing/orientation session and a structured interview. The testing/orientation session is scheduled approximately once a month. The session runs for 3 1/2 hours and includes an introduction to Lucas County Children Services, a job preview discussion and testing. Six to eight individual structured interviews are generally scheduled each month. A panel of two to three managers participates in the interview and questions the applicant.

When all paperwork (testing/structured interview results, references, police checks, etc.) is gathered, a letter is sent to the applicant informing them of their employment eligibility status.

Approved applicants are hired for casework training classes based on the Agency’s staffing needs. The training class lasts a minimum of six weeks and caseworkers are assigned to casework vacancies/units when the class is completed. Trainees may be assigned to any shift.
