Job Description
In Southern California, Seneca provides in-depth fieldwork placement and training opportunities for MSW, MFT, and PCC interns. Graduate Fieldwork Placements follow a standard school year schedule beginning in the fall and ending in the spring/summer. Internships require a minimum commitment of 16 hours per week, and certain placements may require 20-24 hours per week or be restricted to final-year students. Exact schedules are decided on with the supervising clinician according to the students' availability and the program's needs. Due to the sensitive needs of the kids and families we serve, we ask that students assist in providing a healthy transition into and out of our kids and families lives. Students are provided with the following opportunities: Two week New Employee Orientation (Monday-Friday 9am-5:30pm) is synchronous and mandatory. An intensive orientation to Seneca's population served, values, philosophy, and practice at the beginning of their fieldwork placement. An opportunity to conduct hands-on fieldwork. Training and supervision focused on the Seneca treatment model. Multiple and varying training opportunities presented on a wide range of topics applicable to working with children and their families. Weekly individual supervision provided by a Seneca Clinician with an appropriate degree or license. Weekly group supervision when applicable to the student's fieldwork agreement. Be part of an agency dedicated to helping provide permanent families to allow the children to thrive. Internship stipend (Receipts for educational expenses are required for the full amount of your stipend.) Clearance of TB test, fingerprints, and any other mandatory State/Federal licensing or certification requirements. Who should apply? The training settings we offer are most appropriate for advanced students who already have some exposure to clinical populations and direct work with clients. You must be currently enrolled in a clinical graduate program to qualify to apply.
