Job Description for a Human Services Manager

An interview was conducted with a human service professional. Using knowledge gained from that experience, and any additional research you conduct, write an original, detailed job description for a manager or supervisor in a specific human service agency of your choosing. You can choose a human service setting where you have already been employed, one where you would like to be employed in the future or one that is related to the social problem you have chosen for my final project which is Mental Health. Please do not copy an existing job description from the Internet.

Examples of agencies include counseling centers, Department of Child and Family Services, faith-based organizations, homeless shelters, rehabilitation centers, hospice agencies, women’s shelters, senior housing facilities, adoption agencies and prison settings. You may choose a human service setting that is not included in this list. For the assignment, be sure to include:

• The type of agency where the manager will work.
• A description of the specific duties and tasks required for a manager in this setting.
• A description of the specific skills needed for a manager in this setting.
• A description of the educational and certification or licensure requirements for that position.
