Social work?

[opium_souldjah]

A friend of mine just moved back to the Toronto area from Boston where he was a social worker working with troubled teens, etc...

He's having some trouble finding a job in his field and I wondered if any of you would have any information or leads he could follow up on in regards to finding a job in social work? any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

gv

Social Work is a pretty broad field.

What kind of social work?

www.charityvillage.com is always a good start.

He's looking to work with troubled youth, crisis centre...in that general area.

 

[R4V4G3D_SKU11S]

Does he have a BSW?

 

[opium_souldjah]

Yes he does

Charity Village is great, definitely tell him to check it regularly. This is hte Chidren's Aid Society Jobs page: http://www.torontocas.ca/Employmainframe.htm

There's also jobs like this at the Yonge Street Mission http://www.ysm.on.ca/jobs.html
If you don't mind working for a Christian organization.

He might want to contact the Ontario College of Social Workers, as well.

Charity Village is the only search site that I know of for the sector. It might be good to just contact specific agencies themselves to find out if they are hiring.

I don't think this is what he's looking for - pays pretty well though!

Check out Covenant House, thats the big youth shelter in Toronto.

You can also check the website for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health: www.camh.net

Sometimes they're hiring social workers.

I have found the best site for social work jobs is http://www.swatjobs.com/ (I'm a social worker too!)

They post tons of stuff, but you do have to pay to get all the info. When I was job hunting I would cross check their ads with with agency listings, and you could pretty much figure out where the job is.

If your friend wants a job where the title is "social worker" they will have to join the Ontario College of Social Worker and Social Service Workers.
