Keuka College is in search of Social Work supervisors to help mentor Keuka College Master of Social Work (MSW) students. The MSW program is a part-time program which focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness, as well as emotional and other behavioral disturbances.

Supervisors are required to be licensed master’s level social workers with at least 2 years of post-graduate experience. The field placement agencies are focused within: generalist experience in social work, social services agencies, schools, shelters, foster care, child welfare agencies (non-clinical), and others.

During the second year, a heavy emphasis is placed on clinical fieldwork. During the time with their Supervisor, students will become familiar with their role and function at the agency, as well as begin to integrate classroom learning from the foundation courses to practical applications. Supervisors can support students during this time for 500 field hours

The program is split into two tracks - The traditional track for students without a social work degree looking to change careers, and the advanced track for students who already have a bachelor’s in social work. Clinical field hour requirements vary by track.

The field placement agencies are focused within (but not limited to): 

  • Social Service Agency
  • Schools
  • Shelters
  • Foster care
  • Child Welfare Agency
  • Outpatient Mental Health Clinic
  • Inpatient Psychiatric Clinic
  • Child Advocacy Facility
  • Substance Use Disorder Clinics

 

Benefits of a Supervisor
  • Help train the next generation of social workers and watch them grow their skills in a clinical setting
  • Gain valuable leadership skills to enhance your resume
  • Obtain support in your day-to-day activities and tasks
  • Reinforce your own expertise while learning skills from students
