Job description

WEST SIDE FEDERATION FOR SENIOR AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

Social Worker I

The Social Worker I works as part of the social service team.  They report to the Clinical Coordinator, or Director of Clinical and Social Services, while working closely with their Building Manager.

A Social Worker I is an exempt employee who is required to have a Masters Degree.  They are expected to be able to work autonomously while developing 1 : 1 relationships with the residents.  This relationship will enable the Social Worker I to provide a comprehensive range of social work services to the residents and enable the residents to establish and maintain safe and independent lifestyles in the community.

WSFSSH strongly supports M.S.W. level social workers  obtaining their licensing.  We offer study groups for staff who are preparing to take their exam. WSFSSH will also pay for a study course if needed, and pays for up to 2 licensing exams, as well as registration / licensing fees.

Once a MSW staff member has obtained their LMSW, WSFSSH will cover reasonably priced ceu credits in order to meet licensing requirements.  In addition, WSFSSH will provide weekly clinical supervision by a LCSW, and because WSFSSH is a waivered agency with the NYS Education Dept, a LMSW's work experience will count towards their LCSW. Typically, after 3 years of full time employment, a LMSW will be eligible to apply for their LCSW.  Similarly, WSFSSH will cover testing and licensing fees to obtain the clinical license, and when LCSW is obtained, WSFSSH will cover the cost of CEUs to maintain the license.
