Now Hiring: School Social Worker
The Children's Guild | Baltimore, Maryland
Are you a social worker who believes every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn?
At The Children's Guild, we know that a child's ability to succeed in school is deeply connected to their social, emotional, and family well-being. We are looking for a compassionate, skilled School Social Worker to join our Baltimore team and serve as a vital bridge between students, families, schools, and the community.
Who We Are
The Children's Guild is a nonprofit organization and affiliate of TranZed Alliance — one of the most experienced child-serving organizations in the Greater Baltimore/Washington region. Our Baltimore special education school serves students with emotional disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, and other diverse learning needs in a trauma-informed, therapeutic environment.
Our interdisciplinary team of special educators, therapists, clinicians, psychologists, and support staff work together every day to ensure every student thrives — academically, socially, emotionally, and developmentally.
The Opportunity
As a School Social Worker, you will be an essential member of our multidisciplinary team — connecting students and families to the support they need inside and outside the school. You will:
Provide individual and group counseling to students with social, emotional, and behavioral needs
Conduct psychosocial assessments and contribute to IEP and 504 planning
Connect families to community resources, wraparound services, and crisis support
Support attendance intervention efforts and chronic absenteeism reduction
Collaborate with teachers, clinicians, administrators, and families to support student well-being
Serve as a student advocate — ensuring every child's voice is heard and their needs are met
Facilitate family meetings, home visits, and community outreach as needed
Support crisis assessment, safety planning, and de-escalation in collaboration with the school team
Maintain accurate, timely documentation in compliance with COMAR, HIPAA, and agency standards
Drive cultural transformation efforts by championing a trauma-informed, family-centered school culture
Qualifications
What We're Looking For
Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) from an accredited program (required)
Active licensure in Maryland (LCSW-C, LCSW, LMSW, or working toward full licensure)
2–5 years of experience in a school-based, child welfare, or community-based setting
Knowledge of trauma-informed practices, IDEA, and 504 regulations
Strong assessment, counseling, and case management skills
Familiarity with COMAR and Maryland child welfare regulations
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for home and community visits
Ability to build trusting relationships with students, families, and staff from diverse backgrounds
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Bilingual candidates strongly encouraged to apply

Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision
Clinical supervision toward full licensure (LCSW-C, LCSW)
Mileage reimbursement for home and community visits
Ongoing professional development in trauma-informed care, PBIS, and child welfare best practices
Collaborative, interdisciplinary team environment
