Associate Director of Practicum Education

Position Overview

This Associate Director position focuses on assisting students who pursue employment-based practicums (EBP) and who reside more than one hour from the Lawrence or Edwards campus, and students who attend a partner site. The position provides administrative management and support to the Practicum Office for MSW programs located on the Lawrence, Edwards, K-State (Salina, KS-partner site), and Jayhawk Global (online) campuses. The Associate Director reports to the Director of Practicum. The position can be based on either the Lawrence or Edwards campus, or remotely at the Practicum Director and Dean’s discretion. Occasional periods of travel may be required to meet with students, practicum instructors, and liaisons at the different campus locations and to make practicum site visits, or to attend social work education conferences.

Because of fluctuations in MSW student enrollments and other demands on the Practicum Office, flexibility in work assignments related to the placement of 350-450 students and support of practicum education programming is necessary. While this position primarily involves responsibility for placement of social work students and practicum site recruitment, it may also include significant liaison, instruction, and orientation/event responsibility. The scope of the liaison and instructional role are contingent on curriculum developments and student enrollment. In some years, the projected percentages of work assignments may vary. Extensive communication with students, practicum instructors, practicum site personnel, liaisons, faculty, and School of Social Welfare staff is an ongoing requirement of this position. Effective collaboration with all members of the Practicum Office staff is essential.
