Administrator Jobs in Illinois

An Administrator in the social service industry is responsible for managing the daily operations of a social service entity, such as a nursing home, a social welfare agency, a community center, or a non-profit organization. They oversee the strategic planning, budgeting, and staffing, ensuring the services provided meet the community's needs and comply with government regulations. They also play a crucial role in creating and implementing policies, resolving conflicts, improving efficiency, and ensuring the satisfaction of both staff and service recipients.

An Administrator should possess strong leadership, communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. They should also have a sound understanding of social services, their regulations, and their impact on communities. Additionally, they must possess a strong acumen for business and management principles. Relevant bachelor's or master's degrees, as well as certain certifications, such as the Certified Social Work Case Manager (C-SWCM) or the Certified Advanced Social Work Case Manager (C-ASWCM), can be beneficial. Before becoming an Administrator, a person may have roles such as a Social Worker, Social Services Director, or Program Manager.
