Why

This is a contractor role supporting DHS ICE custody and removal as a social worker/coordinator. It is a full-time position that likely needs a security clearance and casework experience, neither of which Calder has. She will not graduate until May 2027, and the employer is unlikely to hold an immediate-fill role that long. Her psychology degree and discretion with sensitive information touch the requirements, but she has no clinical, casework, or clearance background. The work is also not the victim-services or forensic path she wants, so it is not a good fit.

Watch out for

• DHS ICE contractor role (Lukos) supporting custody and removal; ethical fit and relation to her victim-services goals is unclear
• Requires security clearance, which she lacks and cannot obtain in time
• Social worker title; likely requires prior experience and a Bachelor's in Social Work/Psychology plus possibly licensure or years of casework
• Posted 2026-09-22 with an immediate-fill pool; likely cannot be held until May 2027
• Description truncated; full experience requirements not visible
• Aggregator salary is a single figure (~$66k), possibly an estimate

Resume angles

• BA Psychology (expected May 2027), Psychopathology coursework, Forensic Psychology enrollment
• Confidentiality and discretion with sensitive information
• Documentation and reporting: Kiddleton daily Excel tracking and reports to headquarters
