Social Services Manager Jobs in Maine

A Social Services Manager plays a crucial role by overseeing and coordinating the provision of social services to the public. Main responsibilities may include managing a team of social workers, developing programs and services, setting and implementing policies, and ensuring compliance with regulations. They also evaluate the effectiveness of services provided and make necessary adjustments. They are responsible for budgeting, grant writing, and fundraising to secure resources for the programs they offer. Additionally, they interact with other professionals, such as healthcare workers, to ensure that the people they serve receive a comprehensive array of services.
