MSW Clinician Pre Licensure

MSW Clinician Pre-Licensure Full-Time Taunton, MA 

Location: Taunton, MA (In-Person) 

Start Your Clinical Career With The Support You Deserve 

Beginning your career as a therapist can feel overwhelming—and too often, new clinicians are expected to “figure it out” while managing a full caseload. 

At Community Empowerment Services (CES), we’ve intentionally built a different model. 

We are seeking a Master’s-level Social Worker (MSW) to join our interdisciplinary outpatient team in Taunton. This role is specifically designed for clinicians who are early in their careers and working toward LICSW licensure, with structured support every step of the way. 

A Thoughtful Transition from Student to Clinician 

All new MSW clinicians at CES participate in a structured training and supervision experience designed to bridge the gap between graduate education and real-world clinical practice. 

Our program includes: 

Consistent, high-quality LICSW supervision 

Ongoing clinical training and case-based learning 

Support with applying clinical knowledge in real-time sessions 

Guidance on documentation, diagnosis, and treatment planning 

A gradual, supported transition into a full caseload 

You will not be expected to have all the answers on day one. Our goal is to help you build confidence, competence, and a strong clinical foundation in a supportive, collaborative environment. 

Importantly, supervision and mentorship continue beyond Independent Licensure, as part of our long-term commitment model to clinician development. 

Why Community Empowerment Services (CES)? 

Community Empowerment Services (CES) is a patient-centered outpatient behavioral health practice committed to high-quality, ethical mental health care and long-term professional growth for clinicians.

Our mission is to empower the community one person at a time, and we take that commitment seriously in everything we do—including how we support our clinicians.
