“Wilson County Department of Social Services is a great place to work.  After working in Foster Care/Adoptions for almost two years, I decided to take a job opportunity in private foster care.  Soon I realized what a great professional family, pleasant work environment, and outstanding benefits I had left behind.  Thankfully, I was given the opportunity to return to Wilson County DSS.  Needless to say, I jumped on the opportunity.  I love working for such a great agency and with such great people.”
