The University of Saint Joseph invites qualified applicants to serve as clinical preceptors within the Department of Social Work and Equitable Community Practice for the 2024-2025 Academic Year. The MSW preceptor is crucial to the success of a student’s overall learning experience by providing mentoring, instruction, professional guidance, practice supervision and oversight of the student’s practicum placement (aka field assignment). This also includes independently planning the day-to-day learning activities and assignments which comprise the practicum, and/or planning in tandem with an on-site task supervisor involved in the student’s learning. If the preceptor is not “on-site,” they must designate an on-site task supervisor who will be responsible for the day-to-day activities of the student.
See Field Education Manual for more detailed policies and procedures.
• Preceptor faculty assignments are part-time, on a semester-by-semester basis only, and are dependent on student enrollment.
The Department Chairperson and Director of Field Education will review your application. If there is an opening, the department will contact you directly to discuss the specific opportunity. Thank you for your interest in joining the University of Saint Joseph as adjunct faculty (Preceptor).
