Licensed Master Social Worker - Spanish Speaking

Our client is an article 31 outpatient mental health clinic offering individual, group and family therapy. Clinicians have the opportunity to work with individuals throughout the lifespan from different backgrounds and communities. Although our facility has historically specialized in work with older adults, we recently began working with adolescents (from age 12 years old ) and adults from the age 21. Our client has partnered with the Department for the Aging to operate several satellite clinics throughout the borough of Queens. Clinicians within these satellite programs have the unique opportunity to work at Older Adult Centers to provide clients with individual therapy, clinical groups, and social recreational activities in their own communities. They value continued growth within our employees. They offer free CEU courses for licensed Social Workers and there are scholarship funds available for full-time employees pursuing advanced education. Staff members are also eligible for free pool and gym membership, discounted child care programs and the opportunity to participate in agency activities for little to no cost. Also have a good benefit package as well as some flexibility between working at the main clinic, satellite office and home.
