    Description

    Summary

    Safe Horizon is seeking a compassionate and motivated Supervising Social Worker (MSW) to join our Domestic Violence Shelter Program.

    This is an exciting opportunity for recent MSW graduates to develop their supervisory experience in a supportive, mission-driven environment while earning clinical hours toward LCSW licensure under the supervision of an experienced LCSW.

    This role follows a hybrid schedule, combining on-site work at the shelter with a designated remote workday each week —providing a healthy balance of teamwork, flexibility, and professional development.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Integrate a trauma-informed, client-centered, and anti-oppressive approach into all aspects of client work and staff supervision.
    • Provide direct client services, including crisis intervention, supportive counseling, advocacy, complex case management, and consultations.
    • Conduct intakes, safety assessments, and risk management for new and current clients.
    • Maintain accurate and timely case documentation and funder reports using an electronic case record system.
    • Provide reflective individual and group supervision to Case Managers, Childcare Aides, and Housing Specialists.
    • Coach and guide staff to strengthen trauma-informed and strengths-based practices.
    • Facilitate and oversee support groups for residents.
    • Step into site leadership responsibilities in the absence of the Director.
    • Carry a caseload as needed to support the program.
    • Recognize and respond to vicarious trauma—for both staff and self—with an emphasis on self-care and resilience.
    • Collaborate with mental health providers and community partners to connect clients with appropriate services.
    • Participate in clinical supervision provided by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the purpose of accruing hours toward licensure.

    Qualifications

    • Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) required.
    • Two (2) years of relevant social service and/or supervisory experience preferred.
    • Open to new graduates with strong clinical skills and a demonstrated interest in leadership and trauma-informed care.
    • Demonstrated commitment to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and client-centered practice.
    • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
    • Experience working with survivors of domestic violence or other trauma is a plus.

    If hired, I agree to abide by all of Safe Horizon’s rules and regulations, and understand that, if employed, my employment may be terminated with or without cause, and with or without notice, at any time, at the option of either the company or me. I further understand that no representation, whether oral or written by any representative or agent of the organization, at any time, constitutes a contract of employment.

    AmeriCorps, Peace Corps and other national service alumni are encouraged to apply.
