BOISE – The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has initiated the hiring process for 63 new positions designed to enhance child welfare services throughout the state.

The newly created roles will focus on various aspects of child welfare, including case management, support services, and community outreach.

Officials emphasize that these additional positions are crucial in addressing the growing demands within the child welfare system. The initiative reflects a commitment to safeguarding the well-being of Idaho's children and ensuring that families have access to the resources necessary for healthy development. The Department encourages qualified individuals to apply and join this vital mission.
