Interview

My supervisor’s main duties are to monitor the individuals in her unit. Not only does she need to monitor the individuals, she also has to make sure she does monthly meetings with each individual in her unit to ensure they are on task.  My supervisor has to make sure she is meeting deadlines put in place by the Program Manager and make sure her unit workers are meeting their deadlines. My supervisor was a DCS Specialist prior to her becoming a DCS Supervisor.

In order to get a supervisor position, it is important to have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work or a related field. It is also recommended to have a Master’s degree. However, experience is always a plus and can be substituted for some educational requirements. The current new trend in this field is that there are many supervisor positions open with not enough internal staff to take them. Some DCS staff are getting these internal positions easier because there is no one really to compete for the position. I am encouraged to check the state website for a list of available jobs and requirements
