Job Description

Full-time Caseworker / Investigator positions are available with Liberty Healthcare and the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Adult Protective Services Program.

This mission of an APS Investigator / Case Worker is to ensure the wellbeing of others by investigating reports of need, and if substantiated, mitigate or eliminate imminent risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or abandonment for adults who are living with disabilities.

Starting pay is approximately $46,000 per year, which is paid $22.12 per hour. Opportunities are also available to earn additional income by working optional overtime and taking on additional cases. You will also be eligible for biannual performance bonuses of $750.
