About the Role

Professional Growth & Support

WSFSSH is committed to the professional development of its social work staff. We strongly support MSW-level social workers in obtaining their licensing by offering study groups, covering study course costs, and paying for up to two licensing exams and registration fees. Once you obtain your LMSW, we cover reasonably priced CEU credits to meet licensing requirements.

As a waivered agency with the NYS Education Department, your work experience here will count towards your LCSW. You will receive weekly clinical supervision by an LCSW, and typically, after three years of full-time employment, you will be eligible to apply for your LCSW. WSFSSH also covers testing, licensing fees for the clinical license, and the cost of CEUs to maintain that license.
