About the Role

The School-Based Case Manager bridges home, school, and community to help students overcome the social, emotional, and behavioral barriers that get in the way of consistent school engagement. This role calls for a versatile, skilled professional who can move fluidly between direct student support, family engagement, school collaboration, and clinical oversight. Case management or similar experience is preferred. Experience working in schools and with trauma informed behavioral interventions required.

This position centers on three core goals:

1. Bridge the home-school-community connection— building trust and collaboration between families, school staff, and outside providers so students have consistent support across every setting.
2. Teach essential skills that support access to education— directly building students' emotional regulation, social skills, executive functioning, and problem-solving so they can meaningfully participate in school.
3. Provide supervision to Behavioral Interventionists (BIs)who share a caseload with the Case Manager, ensuring quality and consistency of support across the team.

What You'll Do

1. Carry an individualized caseload (typically 18-20 students), conducting needs assessments and building service plans tied to real, measurable goal
2. Coach and support families as they navigate school systems and community resources
3. Sit at the table with teachers, counselors, and administrators in school-based team meetings (MTSS, EST, IEP, and similar)
4. Directly teach and reinforce skills — regulation, social skills, organization, coping — that translate into classroom success, one and one and in the classroom
5. Coordinate care across outpatient providers, school teams, and community agencies, making referrals as needed
6. Supervise and support BIs working with shared students, ensuring consistency of approach
7. Maintain documentation that meets agency, school, and Medicaid standards, and track outcomes tied to attendance, behavior, and engagement
