Job Description

Lund’s Regional Partnership Program (RPP) seeks a dedicated and driven Case Manager to support families, create meaningful change, and address substance use challenges in our communities. RPP Case Managers work out of local DCF Family Services offices to improve the well-being and permanency outcomes of children affected by parental substance misuse.

In close collaboration with DCF staff, RPP Case Managers play a vital role at the front end of child protection, screening for problematic substance use, linking parents to appropriate treatment services, and addressing barriers to successful engagement. By increasing access to and participation in treatment, RPP Case Managers provide support at the individual level and across the broader care system, ensuring families receive the help they need to thrive.

This role conducts substance use screenings, coordinates referrals to assessment and treatment providers, and fosters treatment engagement by addressing transportation, childcare, or stigma barriers. Case managers provide consultation and training to DCF staff on substance use and treatment services while liaising between the treatment system and DCF Family Services. Services are delivered in various settings, including DCF offices, community spaces, and caregivers’ homes, ensuring that families receive support where they need it most.

The starting rate is up to $25/hour based on education and experience. 

Research shows that individuals from marginalized groups—such as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women, people with disabilities, and those from working-class backgrounds—often hesitate to apply for jobs unless they can see themselves meeting and performing every responsibility and requirement. However, many skills can be learned on the job. If you can see yourself adding value to the role, our clients, staff, and guests and meeting most of the responsibilities and qualifications, we encourage you to apply!

What You Will Bring:

• Minimum of an associate degree required. A bachelor's degree in social work, counseling, or a human services field is preferred.
• Experience providing case management to persons in a substance use, recovery, or mental health treatment setting preferred.
• Apprentice Addiction Professional (AAP) certificate or the ability to test for certification within first year of employment. Financial support, clinical supervision, and training provided by Lund to obtain the AAP certificate.
• Experience working with families, in multidisciplinary teams, and knowledge of community resources preferred.
• Ability to adhere to strong professional boundaries and maintain client confidentiality in line with state and federal regulations.
• Skilled in the use of technology, including Microsoft Suite programs, Electronic Health Records and video conferencing (Zoom and Teams)
• Regular attendance is necessary and essential to meeting the expectations of the job.
• Ability to maintain a valid VT Driver’s License and access to reliable transportation is required; occasional statewide travel may be required.

The successful completion of background and driving checks is a condition of employment.
