Alexandria Virginia, United States Council on Social Work Education Full time
Job Description

 

POSITION SUMMARY

The Department of Social Work Accreditation (DOSWA) administers the Board of Accreditation (BOA)’s accreditation of social work education programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral levels, and post-master’s fellowship programs, within the United States and its territories. The primary function of the DOSWA is providing guidance on accreditation standards and processes by which both academic programs and fellowship programs are evaluated and recognized by peers. Accreditation also provides the public with vital information about the quality of programs available to social work students and practitioners.

The BOA is responsible for developing accreditation standards that define competent preparation for social work practice and for ensuring that social work programs meet those standards. The DOSWA administers a multistep accreditation process that involves self-studies by programs, site visits, and BOA review of social work programs. The accreditation specialist provides and enhances services such as education, resources, and consultation to social work programs in the United States and its territories seeking candidacy or undergoing accreditation review. The incumbent facilitates BOA reviews of social work programs, assists BOA members with detailed understanding of the accreditation processes and procedures, and provides background and clarifying information about programs under BOA review. The position involves work with computer, database, and web applications to facilitate accreditation workflow management; writing reports and decision letters; and providing training for BOA members, programs, and accreditation volunteers. The accreditation specialist is an individual contributor role and includes opportunities for project management and volunteer leadership.

The Council on Social Work Education is committed to creating an accessible, supportive environment that recognizes diversity and cultural competence as integral components of excellence. Candidates who contribute to that goal are encouraged to apply and to identify their strengths in this area.
