The Social Services Practitioner I is the first professional level classification in the Social Services Practitioner series and is at a training level where the emphasis is on learning casework methods, procedures, and policies, and the carrying of a limited, non-complex caseload under close supervision.
Incumbents may receive additional consultation and supervision of difficult and complex casework problems.
